At four years of age his parents moved to Twiggs County. In 1810 they removed with him to the territory of Alabama, Henry County, now Covington County, Alabama. He was united in marriage with Lucy Ann Browning, in Lowndes county, Alabama, September 27,1827.
He professed faith in Christ and was baptized into the fellowship of Mount Gilead church, Lowndes county, Alabama, June 9,1830. In 1835 he removed with his young family to the territory of Arkansas, and settled in Clark County, where he resided on the same farm until his death. May 26, 1883.
He served his district in the senate of Arkansas in 1853.
In August, 1836, he and his wife went into the constitution of Mount Bethel church, Clark County, Arkansas, and in October of the same year he was the messenger from his church to a convention which was held at the residence of David Dodd, in Saline county, Arkansas, upon which occasion the Saline Regular Baptist association was organized, it being on "Saturday before the first Lord's day in October, A. D. 1836."
Col. Bozeman was clerk of the convention and also of four subsequent annual meetings of the association. This was the first Baptist association in the State south of the Arkansas River. It was composed of five small churches with an aggregate of seventy eight members. But "the wilderness and solitary place was glad for them ;'' and Col. Bozeman, perhaps the last survivor of the constitutional members of the Saline Regular Baptist association, lived to see the territory densely populated and occupied by about fifteen associations and twenty thousand members, besides the mighty host who preceded him to the heavenly Canaan in the intervening years.
He leaves his aged companion, children, friends, to mourn their loss. But they sorrow not as those who have no hope, " Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord; yea, saith the Spirit, from henceforth they rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
Most of his married life was spent in Arkansas, Clark County, near Arkadelphia, where he owned a large estate, on which he resided 48 years in succession. He lived 56 years with the wife of his young manhood. He was a prominent and leading citizen in his community, honest, temperate, industrious and enterprising, a farmer, a Democrat and a Baptist, an honor to his calling, his party and his denomination. Not till he was 74 years old did he give up the management of his farm. He took great interest in the Bozeman family, and stored his mind with much useful information about its older members. From him the author of these sketches obtained through correspondence many valuable items. A noble man in every sense, he merited the honor and affection manifested by the immense concourse of people that followed him to his grave. The family that bears the name of Bozeman may well feel a just pride in this strong and true Christian gentleman. The Browning's of whom his wife was a member were first class people in all respects. They lived in Alabama, Lowndes County.
