Notes for: Cornelius Bodine
Information on this Cornelius Bodine comes from Sinnott, page 158 and also from "History of the West Branch Valley," page 522. I have based the birth years for their children on the one birth year I had, about 1820, for Cornelius (from FamilySearch.com). All the other birth years are guesses based on the birth order in the above references.
This must be the Cornelius Bodine who is found in the 1820 Census of Reading, Steuben (now Schuyler) Co., NY. In his household are the following:
1 male under 10: This would probably be Lewis.
1 male 26-45: This would be Cornelius who was about 33.
3 females under 10: These would probably be Mary, Margaret, and Jane.
1 female 26-45: This would be his wife Mary Towne.
