The Life and Times of James C. Bozeman

 by 

James C. Bozeman

This work is dedicated to my parents, James and Ruth Bozeman, who loved me and  gave me such a good example of what it means and looks like to "have and to  hold, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, in sickness and in  health, till death do us part"!

Mom went home to be with the Lord on April 24, 2005. That day was a Sunday!   She went to Heaven on a day she loved dearly, Sunday! Dad went to Heaven on Sunday  January 8, 2012.

The Bozeman family journey began a long time ago and much work has been done to  keep up with the journey.  I regret my real interest in the journey has only  began to take root in me in the last few years. When Mom went home to be with  the Lord on April 24, 2005 and then my Son-in-Law Darryl Smith soon followed  her, something began to happened in me that caused me to want to know more  about my family and our history. Dad has now joined Mom and Darryl in Heaven and I will always remember when, standing at his Granddaddy's grave, he said, "I never knew my people" and so I must continue to research and learn about our "people" who are our family. So with that said, it  is clear to me that time spent on a Family Tree is time well used. Now that is Biblical and you can prove that with the Bible! When all is said and done, I thank God that "we once existed".

Introduction:
 The Bozeman Family History is one that has seen our people in many different roles of  life in America.  We have been a part of American life as Farmers, Soldiers, Pastors, Mill  Workers and the list goes on.  We have moved through this country from Virginia,  South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and other places I am not aware of as  yet.  Most of my line of the Bozeman family have been farmers and our roots are deep  in the land of Covington, County Alabama.
