Son of John and Mary Hyde Bostick. He married Rebecca Letitia Cannon in 1841. They had three children: Newton C., John C., and Richard W. Hyde, Jr. Mr. Bostick was a lawyer and State Legislator.

Taken from the books "Portraits of Williamson County" by Rick Warwick and "Historic Williamson County Old Homes and Sites" by Virginia Bowman, both submitted by Linda Moore Mora.

Their marriage united two of the oldest and most prominent families in Triune. He was a farmer, and a lawyer of wide reputation and served in the Legislature for ten years. They were a story book couple: he was handsome and she was beautiful. They had three sons - John, Richard and Cannon - who grew to manhood in Williamson County.

Their son Cannon fought in the Confederate army and crept home wounded, and his mother concealed him so successfully that her friends, and more importantly the Yankees, never suspected his presence. John Bostick was also in the Confederate army. As late as 1912, minie balls could be picked up by the handfulls in the yard at Everbright.

All the Bostick men knew and loved fine horseflesh into a livelihood by training the excellent horses at the Ewell Farm in Spring Hill for Major Campbell Brown.
