It does not appear by the records in this office, that a certificate for the reward of eighty dollars has
been issued to Peter Bozeman in the South Carolina Line.
It further appears that Peter Bozeman is not now on the pension 
list of any agency, and has not been so since the 3d March 1826.

Peter Bozeman enlisted as he now remembers 
in Capt Richard Mason Company of the 2d 
Regiment of the So Car line.
He served therein until the seige of Charleston 
and was with the rest of his regiment 
taken prisoner when that place 
capitulated. He afterwards made his 
escape and joined Marion who was 
before his Colonel and continued in 
service during the whole war. 
He never heard of his regiment or 
Company after his running away 
from Charleston when he was a prisoner 
or as before stated. Nor was the regiment
ever embodied in So Carolina
He was never regularly discharged
nor did he ever receive any severance
at least if such was the case he has
now no remembrance of it. It is possible
that when the regiment was captured
the roster was destroyed or

they may be examined to substan
