Pickens County Georgia December 5 2004

The UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS played AUBURN UNIVERSITY in the 2004 SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME in Atlanta, GA. - Judge C. Howard Bozeman and 3 of 4 sons took the opportunity to explore the sites I located near the Pickens - Cherokee Co. line to see the area where Amos and Nancy and Silas Newton and Eliza Bozeman lived from the 1830's onward.


Go to
MAPQUEST and type in Marblehill GA. to get a map of the area.

The Four Mile Baptist Church had services every other Sunday while the Conn's Creek Baptist the alternate Sundays. Many of the members were employed by the marble quarry at Marble Hill. These were not slave holding plantation owners but all of the sons and sons-in-law of Amos and Nancy Tarbutton Bozeman were part of the Confederate Army and spent the war in grey. Amazingly not one was killed or seriously wounded.
Following the end of the war, one of the enforcers left in charge of the area had taken a plow belonging to Silas Newton a man named Arwood. Silas Newton saw him with the plow and while attempting to retrieve his property was killed with a pitchfork. 
Silas Newtons son Samuel Bozeman & wife Cynthia Mann Bozeman left for Concord, TN with son Harrison Newton and eventually had 4 sons and 4 daughters. The youngest of which Artie Claude was my Grandfather.

We met our cousin Lindsay Petty during the Sunday service at Four Mile Baptist Church. Lindsay is the great x 3 grandson of John K. Bozeman who was the elder brother of Silas Newton Bozeman who is my great-great grandfather and fourth son of Amos and Nancy Tarbutton Bozeman.


Rebecca Beede Bozeman Ingram is the daughter of Amos and Nancy Tarbutton Bozeman.
There are many unreadable markers at Four Mile Baptist Church. We are trying to arrange to read the old minutes of Four Mile Church to determine if any information therein leads us to which graves belong to Amos and Nancy Tarbutton Bozeman and Silas Newton and Eliza Parrish Bozeman.


The sign at Four Mile Baptist constituted in 1850


The sign at Bozeman Lane possibly named for Tillman Bozeman who had a store nearby.
Tillman was a descendant of Amos and Nancy Tarbutton Bozeman

Bozeman Tombstone Text: In Memory of John M. Bozeman Aged 32 years Killed by Blackfeet Indians on the Yellowstone April 18 1868 (Evidence now disputes the cause of death attributing it to his partner - not the Blackfeet.) John M. Bozeman left Cherokee Co GA prior to the Civil War to search for his father who (unbeknownst to John M. had died aboard ship) headed for the 49er gold rush in California.
John M. Bozeman was grandson of Amos and Nancy Tarbutton Bozeman who were living in Cherokee Co Georgia in the 1830's following the removal of the Cherokee during the TRAIL OF TEARS. John M. became a wagon master leading wagon trains through the Powder River area of Wyoming from Cheyenne to Sheridan and into the gold fields of Gallatin MT and was one of the first settlers of Bozeman and from whom the town takes it's name

A Post from your Host

In case you are wondering who to blame for this blog:

On Nov. 1, 2003 I gave away the beautiful bride, my wonderful daughter Allison, to a great groom, her husband Ben Lawhon, during the "PERFECT" wedding.
It was 75 degrees without a cloud in the sky over Cashiers, NC.


My brothers and our parents:

David, Dr. Charlie, Judge Howard & Barbara, Dr. Sam, & I

My Bozeman Line goes like this
Father Charles Howard (b. 1918) Knoxville, TN. and Mother Barbara Ann Newman Bozeman

Silas Newton was a son of Amos (b. 1799 NC or SC) and Nancy Tarbutton Bozeman

Amos said that his father was Samuel and his mother Rachel. DNA testing indicates that Amos descended from James (b. 1720) and Martha Bozeman of Edgecomb Co NC.

Silas Newton and Eliza Parrish Bozeman's eldest son was John Samuel Bozeman
