Bossong

To avoid this persecution, many families left the domains of the French King and fled to County Kent, England and Holland.

[2] During the Thirty Years' War, the Lambrecht Wallonians fled in 1621 from approaching Spanish soldiers, for example, to Bergzabern, a small town which belonged to the neutral principality Pfalz-Zweibrücken.

[2] In 1635, they escaped again from imperial troops choosing Annweiler and Bischweiler in Alsace which both belonged to Pfalz-Zweibrücken,[2] Hanau on the river Main, and possibly to Malmedy.

In Europe today, variations of the name can be found in several countries from the western and southern parts of the former Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation - Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and England.

Variations of these spellings include Bodecon, Baudeson, Baudeschon, Baudisson, Boudecon, Boudosson, Bootson, Botson, Botzon, Botzung, Bozon, Boson, Bosson, Bossung, and Bossing.

Today, a significant number of people with the Bossong/Bossung spellings of the name reside in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana, and Illinois.
