In his book, that is often quoted and rightly so, “Sketches of the Bozeman Family” Rev. Woodruff Bozeman states, “A just family pride is a great virtue. Let it he cultivated in every Bozeman on the earth by excellence of personal character, by nobleness of aim,and by usefulness of individual life." A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold."
JOSEPH W. BOZEMAN.
Covington County Alabama February 1, 1828.
The Good Hope Baptist Church Constituted February 1, 1828. It was, in their words,"Constitued in the Primitive Faith" In this case, this local church, a Primitive Baptist Church I am so proud of the Faith that Saved them and the Faith that they live out! Quit honestly, this tells me why they were such a strong people
and why and how they lived the difficult lives that they were able to live, by the Grace of God. The Following is a general list of Primitive Faith or Prmitive Baptist Statement of Faith. I am seeking to get permission to post their original articles of constitution and faith.
Many Many Bozemans lives were directed by the strong, gracious, Sciptural priciples listed above. Many Methodist, Pentecostal and others but for the most part my Ancestors of Covington County Alabama held firmly to and were held firmly by these Biblical Principals. Each practice of Faith would have it's own statement of Faith. These are those that sustained my line of Bozeman's for many Generations. For that I am so thankful! My family knew what they believed and I believe that is so very important in a day which our world seems to live by which way the wind blows.
