Notes for Experience Bozorth:
FIRST ACCOUNT OF THE 1779 INDIAN ATTACT ON THE BOZARTH FAMILY from the Bozarth
Beacon, Vol 5,No. 3.
In 1847, I.D. RUPP, a respected PA historian published short historeies of
each PA county in a single volume. At the end of six pages devoted to Greene
Co. (established in 1796), RUPP reprinted a letter written in April 1779
(pages 339&340)
The folling occurred within or near Greene county, then Westmoreland:
"Madam:--I have written to Mr.--------, of your city, an account of an affair
betreen a white man and two Indians. I am now about to give you a relation in
whech you you will see how a person of your sex acquitted herself in defence
of her own life and that of her husband and children.
"The lady who is the subject of this story, is named Experience Bozarth. She
lives on a creek called Dunkard creek, in the south-west corner of this
county. About the middle of March last, two or three families, who were afraid
to stay at home, gathered to her house and there stayed---looking on
themselves to be safer than when all scattered about at their own houses.
"On a certain day, some of the children thus collected came running in from
play, in great haste, saying there were ugly red-men. One of the men in the
house stepped to the door, where he recived a ball in the side of the brest,
which caused him to fall back into the house. The Indian was immediately in on
him, and engaged with another man who was in the house. The man tossed the
Indian on a bed, and called for a knife to kill him. (Observe, these were all
the men that were in tne house.) Now Mrs. Bozarth appears the only help, who
not finding a knife at hand, took up a axe that lay by, and with one blow cut
out the brains of the Indian. at that instant, (for all was instantaneous,) a
second Indian entered the door, and shot the man dead who was engaged with the
Indian on the bed. Mrs. Bozarth turned to this second Indian,and with her axe
gave him several large cuts, some which let his entrails appear. He bawled
out, murder, murder. On this, sundry other Indians, (who had hitherto been
fully employed, killing some children out of doors,) came rushing to his
relief; the head of one of these Mrs. Bozarth clave in two with her axe, as he
stuck it in the door, which laid him flat on the ground. Another snatched hold
of the wounded, bellowing fellow, and pulled him out of doors; and Mrs
Bozarth, with the assistance of the man who was first shot in the door and by
this time a little recovered, shut the door after them, and fastened it, where
they kept garrison for several days. "Westmoreland, April 26, 1779

Hi Suzanne, I would like to be able to answer all of your questions concerning
Jean Bossard/Bozarth, but I can't and I don't know of anyone at this time that
can. In Bozarth Beacon, Volume X, No. 4 I printed an article stating in
part.."The entry in the 1995 edition of the Register of Qualified Huguenot
Ancestors is in error and without documentation." and goes on to say "While
Johann Boussart, burgher of Strasbourg (husband of Margaretha Muller) MAYBE
the Jean Bossard who arrived in VA via England 9 years later this is still
only conjecture on the part of serious researchers. The Date and Birth &
marriage of Simon Bozorth is undocumented as are the names of his parents."
As for Henry Bossard a paper written by Ted W. Bozarth (longtime Bozarth
researcher and Associate Editor for Bozarth Beacon) states Henry Bossard, Sr.
was identified as son of Jean Bossard by The Huguenot Soc. of America. Other
ref. Henry Bozart, Berkeley Co., VA, Henry Busard, Hampshire Co.,PA, Henry
Bossard taxed Berks Co, PA 1780, Rudolph Bossart also taxed same place, Henry
Bossard (c1740-1791) died Westmoreland Co., PA . The name seems to have taken
on many spellings. I also have a FGS for a Phillip Bossard b. ca 1706 Alsace
Germany, d. Hamilton Twp. PA, children: Melchior, Christina, Henry and three
others unnamed.
It's hard to say how Bossard came to be pronounced or spelled Bozorth/Bozarth.
I understand in the Pines of NJ it is pronounced Beaushure. I hope I'm right
on that. Immigrants speaking poor English might have contributed to the
spelling. I would be happy to see anyone else's explanation.
Contact me by e-mail if you would like copies of what I have concerning Henry
Bossard. Gayle, Editor Bozarth Beacon
