This story is a long one so I will condense it severely. My 3G Grandfather Isaac Charles Smith COLLETT married Sophia BOZON, May 19, 1807, in her home town of Stoke Damerel, Devon England. He was a Naval Officer. My fourth great grandparents Mark Anthony BOZON Jr. (1766-1846) and wife Jane WORTHONBURY are relatively easy to follow with several family events listed at Stoke Damerel and Devonport. He was an Army Officer. My search is now focused on Mark Anthony BOZON Sr. (1744-1808) and his wife Jane (birth surname unknown),who were Plymouth Navy Agents from about 1789 to 1808. Their origins seem very difficult to determine. Realizing that the stories of military people are not limited to a particular county, I would like to ask if any of the family history detectives on this list can help with a clue or suggestion. I would be happy to provide additional information to anyone who might be interested. Dave in Canada
