Subject: Looking for information on Mordicai Bozeman
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 05:40:53 -0500


Not much is known about Mordicai Bozeman. Rev. Bozeman mentions
Mordicai in Sketches of the Bozeman Family, 1885.

"MORDICAI BOZEMAN - 1735. - DARLINGTON CO., SOUTH CAROLINA
A native of North Carolina, born about 1735. His sons were:
1. Peter Bozeman, born about 1758; a soldier in the Revolution on the
side of American independence. Moved to Alabama.
2. John Bozeman, born about 1760; soldier in the Revolution with his
brother.
3. James Bozeman, born about 1766; lived in Darlington county, South
Carolina; married Elizabeth Flowers."

We also know that Mordicai served in the American Revolution in SC.

If you have any additional references to Mordicai or information
regarding his service in the American Revolution, please respond to this
post.

Four descendants of Mordicai have participated in the Bozeman DNA
Project. Unfortunately, the results have been inconsistent. Two
descendants of his son, John, were tested and their DNA did not match
with each other. Two descendants of his son, Peter, were tested. They
matched each other but did not match either of the two descendants of
John. The results of the DNA testing can be seen at
http://www.BozemanFamilies.com. If you believe that you are a direct
male descendant of Mordicai (with a last name of Bozeman), you should
consider participating in the Bozeman DNA Project. We need to test
additional descendants of both Peter and John as well as descendants of
James. Please contact me for additional information if you are
interested in participating in the Bozeman DNA Project.

We do not know Mordicai's parents. Based on his birth date of 1735 in
North Carolina, he could be a brother of James Bozeman of Edgecombe
County. He could also be a brother of Samuel Bozeman. He could also be
a brother of Benjamin Bozeman of Southampton County, VA. The DNA
testing will eventually establish his relationship to the other Bozeman
families. But, the Bozeman DNA Project will only succeed if you
volunteer to participate!
