I don't know if this helps you or if these are the same family, but I made a copy of the passenger list I found for the brig Mary, June 28, 1735 "Palatines imported in the brig Mary, of Philadelphia, James Marshall, Master, from London. - Thirteen men, ten boys, eighteen women and girls - in all 41" that lists a Henrich Boshart above the age of sixteen and under sixteen, a Caspar Boshart and a Henrich Boshart. I have found that since many passengers couldn't read or write their own names, many different spellings of the name Bossert are found on these lists due to clerks writing the names for them and the passenger signed with an X.
I have copies of several passenger lists that I have found with any name close to Bossert listed and will share them with anyone that wants them. I intend on posting the names I have found and their ship information on this forum as soon as I can complete this task in a way that I don't have to include every passenger on each list. So far I have complied 16 pages of passenger lists.
