History
The lineage of the Bosley family starts in Maryland with immigrant Walter Bosley (1675-1715). One of his descendants was Martha Emily Bosley (1856-1934), who married Robert Alexander Kimbrel (1853-1906) in ca. 1876. At some point, the Bosley and Dimmitt families were linked by marriage. Beal Dimmitt was the third son of William Dimmitt, who died in Baltimore Co. in 1805. William Dimmitts brother James also died in Baltimore Co., in 1803. Rachel Dimmitt was James widow. There is a Dimmitt Family grave in Green Mount Cemetery.
