Miller.  1978.  "The Three James Bosleys (or—A case of Mistaken Identity).  Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin 19(1): 17-20.  The article attempts to clarify the identities of the three James BOSLEYs who were grandsons of the progenitor, Walter BOSLEY, whom he refers to as "1. James of Charles," who married Rachel GORSUCH, "2. James of James," who married Ann GOTT, and "3. James of William," who married Temperance MARSH.  The author does not identify the wives of Walter's sons.

3.  James of William.  His birthdate is known as 1744 from a deposition he made in a chancery suit in 1806.  He left no will, but since the bond for his wife to administer the estate was filed March 29, 1815, he doubtless died shortly before then.  His wife, Temperance Marsh, whom he married in 1770 in St. John's parish, died in 1823, and it is not known where either is bured (sic).  Tombtones for only one of their children have been found, though their names are known for certain from their parents' estate administrations. This family lived in Dulaney Valley.  He had apparently leased 100 acres from the Dulaneys, possibly about the time of his marriage.  He is listed simply as "James Bausley" in the 1773 tax list in Gunpowder Upper Hundred, as is James of Charles.  In 1783 he is listed as "James of William," taxed for 100 a., "Dulaney," still in Gunpowder Upper Hundred.  All the Dulaney lands were confiscated during the war, and in 1787 James bought a 102-acre tract, part of the large tract "Valley of Jehosophat," which had belonged to the Dulaneys.  This was doubtless the leased land on which he had been living for some years, and [to] which he had made many improvements.  This land was deeded to him by the State of Maryland December 5, 1796, and he then rechristened it "Bosley's Inheritance," though there was another tract in the county patented by that name in 1795 by another Bosley.  This tract was eventually sold as 107 acres by his heirs on October 30, 1815.  As far as has been ascertained, this was the only land he ever owned. He signed the Oath of Fidelity as "James of William."  It is reasonably certain that he is the James Bosley who was commissioned a First Lieutenant in the company of Baltimore County Militia captained by his nephew, William Lane (Arch. of Md., vol45p650.)  This has been a major point of confusion in the past, for a number of his descendants have obtained membership in the D.A.R., etc., by mistakenly identifying him as the Captain James Bosley who served on the Committee of Safety (vide supra.) [i.e., James of Charles]

The records of St. John's and St. George's Parish (of Baltimore and Harford Counties) show...  James Bosley, son of James and Elizabeth, md. Temperance March, Sept. 16, 1776...  From other sources of information I find that James Bosley md Elizabeth Parrish, Nov. 26, 1730...  James and Elizabeth had...  Capt. James Bosley (whose father is also called Capt. James) md Temperance Marsh and had Gamaliel, md Eleanor Kenney; Amon, born Feb. 27, 1779, died Aug. 23, 1836, md Rebecca Marsh (his cousin); Ellen, md Nathan Corbin; Elizabeth md Benedict Bosley; Mary md Luke Ware; Ruth md Peter Ware; Achsala md Jack Buck; Temperance md 1st Capt. Kidd; 2nd Moses Parlette...

Barnes (1989:59) has our subject the son of William BOSLEY, not James BOSLEY.  Barnes (1975:17) has 1770, not 1776.  Primary records show Eleanor "Ellen" BOSLEY married Abraham CORBIN.  Another message by this same poster (#478) indicates a belief that Abraham and Nathan are the same person, but see my reply (#556).
