Notes for: Darwin Covert Bodine
Darwin was also listed at FamilySearch.com as having been born in Peotone, Will County, Illinois. This may be the Darwin Bodine who married Jennie Davenport in Kane County, Illinois on July 5, 1870. The IGI says that he is the one who married her. I will go with that for now.
