Hi Dave,
The John Bodine that I was referencing was born in Canada in 1823 and was married to a Catherine MCLELLAN in Ontario, Canada. They had a daughter, Roseltha Bodine born in 1850 in Southwold, Elgin Co., Canada. By 1870 John Bodine and family were living in Tuscola Co., Michigan. Roseltha Bodine was married to a Martin Miller and had at least 3 children born there.

By 1880, John & Catherine Bodine were living in Oregon City, Clackamus Co., Oregon with daughter's family of Roseltha & Martin Miller and 4 daughters.

Can you give me any leads on this line?

Thanks,

Note: This may be the John L. Bodine who was listed as still living in Ontario, Canada in 1877 ("People of Ontario 1600-1900"). It is not certain that that John L. Bodine was the son of this Abraham. He was not in Southwold Township at the time of the 1861 Census.
