Hi Judith. I actually created a separate family tree just for the Bostick line. They have always intrigued me. I'm always looking for a connection to get my mind settled 100% on what I have already. I have plenty of unanswered questions about James and the 5 siblings in the 1850 census. What happened to their parents? 5 kids ages 21 through 14 yrs old. I just want to be positive that John is actually my gg grandfather.

What is your member profile name on ancestry? I'm listed as Tropowarrior.

Hi Ken!  We are on Ancestry and I am always checking for a connection! You have a very nice family!

My paternal grandmother is Pansy Bostic Douglas. Her father was Joel Bostick and his father was John who was listed in the 1850 census with 4 other siblings in Richland County. Perhaps we can sort things out. My aunt is also in this post Hazel D Atwater.

Judith, Are you also related to the Bosticks?. Do you have any sources that referenced Joel and other Bosticks being given land or manumitted? I'm guessing they were probably mulatto offsprings of white Bostick slaveowners.

Hi Judith,

I'm sure there is a connection although I don't know the name. Sasportas is on my father's side - I'm also researching them. They were originally from Charleston and then Summerville, SC. There were several branches but my branch was isolated and raised as "step-children". The Bosticks are on my mothers side - I know they were listed as free colored farmers back in the 1840's/1850's. Trying to "connect the dots".

Hi Edwin Sasportas! Good to hear from you!  I am researching Bosticks and also have a Mabel Pelot Sasportas in my research. Mabel was a school teacher in Columbia, SC for many years. Any connection?  :) Judy

Greetings All, My name is Ed Sasportas and I'm researching my family history. My maternal great-great grandparents were Joel Bostick and Angeline Adams. They were from Richland County and eventually settled in the St. Matthews SC area (Orangeburg/Calhoun County). My mom is 90 years old and she remembers some of the Bosticks (including Grandma Angeline). She also remembers a Hilliard Bostick and a Nancy. She recalls some of them with a "dingy" complexion and light freckles. They were free blacks who owned some property. Am interested in going back further and also meeting new relatives. I live in New Jersey but I travel down to South Carolina to visit family.

I am wondering if Susan Bostick and James Bostick are brother and sister. 

Comment by Judith Hazlett Starsinic on September 9, 2013 at 12:05am

I am finding a John Bostick and a James Bostick in the late 1700's of Columbia, South Carolina.  Both hired out a slave named Jack and a slave named Sam.
