Notes |
- Thomas Bozman, born about 1690. His wife was Mary .
________
Note: Many references give the parents of Thomas Bosman as John Bosman of the Maryland legislature and Blandina Risdon. This is in error. John & Blandina also had a son named Thomas who was married to a Mary about the same time, but not the Thomas who is the father of Sarah Bosman married to William Hayes. Documentation of this fact is forthcoming from Jan Craven - jcraven@iamerica.net, who has done extensive research on this family.
