Subject: Question about Catherine Bodine (1778-1823)

Good evening,

My name is Zachary Newkirk and I am doing a bit of research on my family history and stumbled upon your excellent website while looking for information on a distant relative, John A. Newkirk. In February, 1791, he married Catherine Bodine (Caty Bodyn, according to transcribed church records) and they had a number of children. I've noticed that your page on her mentions that she died on September 20, 1823. I was wondering what your source for that date was. I have reached a dead end while researching John A. Newkirk and maybe information on her death will provide more info. Was she a widow? If so, did she receive a pension? Ultimately, I'd like to find out who John's parents were, since I can't find much beyond the late 18th century.

I've just begun this genealogical adventure and it's been quite exciting! I would appreciate any tips and advice and certainly any information you can provide.

Thank you very much for your time!

All the best,

Zachary Newkirk
