His story

Raymond Bosworth was a New Englander whose life spanned the post-Revolutionary era and the early decades of the American republic. He was born just before the American Revolution and lived through the formation of the United States, the War of 1812, and the early westward expansion.

His children’s migration patterns—especially Betsey’s move to Indiana—suggest the family may have participated in the broader movement from New England to the Midwest during the early 19th century.
