Jesse Bozeman born 1793 Darlington South Carolina migrated to
Montgomery County Alabama with his father Peter Bozeman who had served in
the American Revolution. Jesse and his wife Lucy with children plus
Jesse's brothers Peter E., William Henry, Meedy and sister Lucy Bozeman
Campbell all resided upon a huge plantation. Jesse was the only one
able to read and write, so as the Attorney of the family, he handled all
legal documents and estate sales and so far no will has been found for any
person of this lineage.
Jesse's daughter Lacy Jane married Thomas Randolph Carter who
also bought land in this area, and was the grandson of Captain John Carter
of the American Revolution.
Search for Stokes in Montgomery County to
read the article about this very neglected cemetery.
It mentions a Mathew Stokes as a previous owner, and he was
married to Mary Campbell who might have been the daughter of the above
mentioned Lucy.
Also when Jesse Bozeman's brother William died, Thomas Carter
purchased a portion of that land. William's grave is not
found. Peter's grave is not found.
Perhaps they are buried nearby.
Jesse is buried beside one of his two wives and a tree had
grown up between them damaging the stones.
You can see the huge fallen tree behind Lacy's tombstone and
apparently it broke her brother James' stone which is beside
hers
Lacy's very tall monument surrounded by her children's
stones

facing Lacy's and James.
Thicket of trees behind the pond is the burial ground where
cattle roam freely over the tombstones.
