Hi !!!!
I add this thing...
I think that Boswell and Bosley have a different origin.
Maybe these two are modern variant of Boston with different suffixes...or simply surnames.
By the way I think that bos- prefix doesn't exist for these names because they have a different root.

Hi !!!!
Boston...
The city in Massachusetts was named after Boston (Lincolnshire, England, UK) a town and small port.
The "Bitish" Boston means "Saint Botolph's town" or "Saint Botolph's stone". By the years the name became shorter so the final form of this name is Boston.
St.Botolph was the patron saint of travellers and farming and was an English abbot died in 680.
