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!
