Joseph Bozarth (ca 1735-1790) was in Kentucky County, Virginia by 1780. He was shown, July 1780, as Lieutenant of the Jefferson County Militia, the Company of Capt. William McClure, in a campaign against the Shawnee Indians under the command of Col. George Rogers Clark. Son-in-law Andrew Reed and Joseph’s youngest brother, Isaac, were privates in his unit. Joseph died in 1790 in what was then known as “Nelson County, Virginia, District of Kentucky.” His widow Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) then married widower Robert Veazy Alexander in 1791 in Nelson County. Joseph and Elizabeth’s older children were married in Nelson County, but the younger children were married in Hardin County after the county lines changed again in 1792. Their son Abner Bozorth and Frances Louise “Fannie Lou” Means, d/o William Means and 1/w Mary Ann Allison, were married here on 18 Sep 1796.
