Information at Family Search also says he was born about 1768. I have my doubts about that though. His wife, Anna, was born in 1779; so I would guess that Isaac was also born in the mid-1770's.

Dave,
On the 1850 census in the town of Hope, Hamilton County, New York, (NYGenWeb), Isaac Bodine/Bordine gave his age as 65, which means he was born in 1785. You give the birthdate of Isaac's wife, Anna Mandeville, as 1779, which makes her six years older than Isaac, but this agrees with an 1830 census in which the age of Isaac is between 40 and 50, and the age of Anna is between 50 and 60. In 1830, Isaac would have been 45, and Anna would have been 51.
Isaac ("Isaack Burdoin") was on the assessment roll in the Town of Florida, New York in 1805. He was listed as owning no real property, but owning personal property worth 50 (pounds?). I read that the early land owners in Montgomery County would not sell land to settlers, but rented the land instead. Perhaps this was why Isaac did not own any real property in 1805.
Isaac was on the 1810 census in Mayfield Twp., Montgomery County, with one male 26-45, three females under 10, and one female 26-45. He was on the 1825 census in Benson, Hamilton County. Aber's History of Hamilton County, New York mentions Isaac as an early settler of the town of Benson. Benson is 20 miles north of Florida. On the 1830 census in Hope, Hamilton County, Isaac's household had one male 10-15, one male 15-20, one male 40-50, one female 15-20, one female 20-30, and one female 50-60. On the 1850 census in the town of Hope, Isaac was listed alone, and was declared as not being able to read or write.
The will of Jacob Van Hoesen from Florida, New York, dated 11-14-1804 and probated 3-11-1812, names his daughter Mary Bodine and his grandson Isaac
Bodine. Mary Bodine was Marie Van Hoesen, married to John Bodine (Pearson's book on Schenectady), which means that Isaac Bodine was indeed another son of John Bodine and Marie Van Hoesen.
A mortgage recorded in Fonda, Montgomery County NY, dated Feb.18, 1811, was between Isaac Bodine of Mayfield and Amaziah Rust of Johnstown, $160.00 for
50 acres in lot 65 in Benson, Mayfield Twp.
Another mortgage dated March 10, 1834 was between Isaac, Anna, and Albert Bodine of the Town of Hope, and Andrew Hunter, for $415.00 for lots 5 and 6
in the Town of Hope in the Benson patent. Isaac made his mark (an X) after his name. A David M. Bordine was a witness on this mortgage.
The only other details I can add for Isaac are a few dates and locations for the births and baptisms of his children (missing from your file on Isaac on
your Bodine website). The source is the church records of the Reformed Dutch Church kept in the History and Archives Building in Fonda, NY.
Elizabeth was born on Nov. 5, 1806.
Hannah was baptized on Feb. 3, 1811 in Florida, NY.
Susanna was born on June 17, 1812.
Albert was born on april 21, 1814.
That's all on Isaac...
Karen
Note from Dave: I believe the place of baptism for each child can be found in Reformed Dutch Church Records kept in the History and Archives Building in Fonda, NY. There are also dates there for births and/or baptisms.
In a book about the first settlers of Schenectady, New York (Jonathan Pearson, 1873), there is a Annatie Bodine from Remsenbos who married a Harmanus Mandeville from "Charston" on April 22, 1794 or 1795. The two children mentioned are Maria (1795) and Elisabeth (1797). I've also seen Annatie's last name transcribed as Bodice. I'm not sure what the original record says. I believe Isaac's name has also been given as Bodice in some places. This is either a bad transcription or a mistake in the original records. This Annatie would have probably been born in the mid-1770's. She could well be a sister of this Isaac Bodine.
Another possible sibling of Isaac's was Albert Bodine. He married Hannah Van Hoesen in Schenectady in 1799. I believe both this Isaac and that Albert are found in the 1810 Census of Mayfield Township, Montgomery Co., NY. They are then in the 1825 Census of Benson, Hamilton Co., NY.
There is a William Bordine listed in the 1820 Census of Mayfield Twp., Montgomery Co., NY. He is probably a relative as well.
I believe the parents of this brood of Bodines is very likely the John Bodine and Maria Van Hoesen who had children baptized in Schenectady, New York. Children John, Ann, Abraham, and Isaac are listed in the book "First Settlers of Schenectady, New York." I would guess these names come from some list of baptisms. I don't know if any dates are given. I think a little research in that area would yield a lot of light on this.
Joan Best looked at some images censuses on-line and found the following. I believe these are from Montgomery County, New York.
In the Florida Census of 1800, there was also a Mark (?) Mortlett, male 10-16. The female side was missing. This census was hard to read.
In 1810 in Mayfield Township, she found Albert Bodine: one male under 10 and a male and female between 26-45.
There was also an Isaac Bodine: 1 male and 1 female 25-45, and 3 females under 10.
In Florida Township, she found Jacob Bordine: 2 males under 10, 2 males 10-16, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 26-46, 1 female under 10, and 1 female 26-46.
Michael Marlatt: 4 males under 10, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 45+, 3 females under 10, 2 females 10-16, 2 females 16-20, and 1 female 26-46.
Enoch Moratt: 1 male under 19, 2 males 19-16, 1 male 45+, 4 females under 10, 2 females 10-16, 1 female 16-26, and 1 female 26-45.
There was a Stephen Burdine in Charlestown Township: 2 males under 10, 3 males 10-16, 1 males 26-45, 1 female under 10, and 1 female 26-45.
The 1820 census is very hard to read. It appears that there is Jacob Brudine and female 45+, with 3 children. And Michael Morlett Jr. is in Florida.
In Mayfield Township, I found what appears to be William Bordine.
The only familiar name was Cornelius Van Horn near Jacob in 1810. He was over 45.
End of census info from Joan Best.
Here is some information copied from the Hamilton Co., NY GenWeb site regarding the Eglin family. Isaac's wife is buried in with the Eglins in a small cemetery associated with that family. Robert Moore from Ontario, Canada wrote up this information:
Eglin Family: JOHN EGLIN Founder
MARRIED: 29 November 1790 in Dutch Reform Church at Schenectady New York, to Catalyntje (Catherine) Dods. Banns were read on 11 November 1790 (Ref #9A)
DIED: 2 April 1845 age 77 most likely in the Town of Benson Hamilton County N.Y. (Ref #1A)(Ref #7: Aber is incorrect when he states 12 April)
BURIED: Middle Benson Cemetery in the Town of Benson (Ref #1A) Lot 6 Benson Tract in the Town of Benson (Lot 6 was owned in early 1800's by Catherine Eglin's father Bartholemeus Dods and willed to his son Bartholemew Dods when he died in 1808) The bodies of John and Catherine were likely reburied at this location at some time after 1880 (Ref #7: page 373) The first location is unknown but Aber notes the body of Mrs Eglin was petrified supposedly due to the limestone content in the water. (The present location is on the side of a hill and there is no evidence of rock in the immediate area)
CHILDREN:
#1.1 * Bartholemus Eglin baptized 29 September 1792 at First Dutch Reform Church at Schenectady N.Y.(Ref #9B)
#1.2 * Peter Doremus Eglin baptized 17 August 1794 at First Dutch Reform Church at Schenectady (Ref #9B)
#1.3 * Thomas Eglin born 14 July 1796, baptized 28 August 1796 at First Dutch Reform Church Schenectady (Ref #9B)
#1.4 * Annetje (Nancy) Eglin born 17 July 1798 in the Town of Amsterdam, Montgomery County, Baptized 31 September 1798 at First Dutch Reform Church at Schenectady (Ref #9B)
#1.5 * Cornelius Eglin, baptized 18 January 1801 at Rotterdam New York Dutch Reform Church (Ref #10) died Porter County Indiana
#1.6 * Silas W. Eglin born 1806 no records of baptism yet found. Family record (see Ref # 31) state that he was an uncle to Bartholemew Eglin's children
To date (Aug/99) no birthplace or parents have been positively established for John Eglin. However Donald Keefer (see Ref #37) 2107 West Glenville Road R.R. #3 Amsterdam N.Y 12010 provided the following:
A. New York Marriages prior to 1784 page 123: Marriage license issued to John Eaglin and Ann Howell dated 4 April 1770
B. Baptisms: records of Children baptized at St George Anglican Church Schenectady N.Y (copy of Baptismal records etc available at Montgomery County Archives at Fonda)
page 1, Thomas Eaglin Parents John Eaglin and Ann Eaglin nee Howell 23 June 1771
page 15, Mary dau of John and Ann Eglein bpt 11 Sept 1774 born 25 August 1774
C. Mary Stevens Register of Births (she was a mid-wife in Schenectady)
a. Ann dau of John and Ann Eglington born 28 July 1773 at 3 in the morning
b. 25 August 1774 Ann Eglinton was deliver'd of a daughter Baptized Mary
Other than above the only Eglins found to date in early records have been found in Massachusetts several generations prior to the time of John's birth and no connection between them and our John Eglin has been made. It is possible that John birth date of is incorrect and that John was not born until 1772 or so (married at 18) and gave an older age so that he would not have been recorded as being younger than his wife. Catherine who was born in 1769 or John may not have been a son of John Eglin (Eglington etc ) and Ann Howell at all.
It is also possible that our John may have been part of the wave of immigration into the Mohawk Valley from New England after the revolution to take up the lands of Sir John Johnson and his followers who had been exiled to Canada (Butlers Rangers etc). (It is very likely that his background was English as I, RGM have made enquiries to a number of Eglins Families in Ontario in the past 10 years and all families can trace their families to England within the past 100 years) (Which makes the baptism in the Anglican church that much more interesting)
John was living in the Remsenboss in the Town of Florida (Montgomery County) in November 1790 when he married Catherine Dods (Ref #9A) So far no explanation for his name being recorded as Eglington rather than Eglin has been found. There were a number of Eglingtons (Eglintons) including Ebeenzer, John and John Jr living in Greenwich Township and Gloucester Township in 1773-4. (Ref #27) There was also an Elginton marriage recorded at Salem New Jersey in 1827 (Ref #29) Whether there is any connection to John is not known.
The Baptismal records of First or Woestina Dutch Reform Church of Rotterdam listed the wife of Cornelius Dods as Polley Egleton in February 1805 when son Jacob was baptized and as Egleton in May 1803 when son Bartholmey was baptized. (It is assumed that the first name Bartholomy was an error) (Ref #10)
In the abstract of wills of Montgomery County the wills of Jesse Egleston and his wife Sarah of the Town of Florida dated 1826 and 1829 respectively are listed (Ref #21) Again whether there is any relationship between John Eglin and these people is not known. As John could not sign his name the family name could have easily been "shortened" somewhere along the line. Who Knows?
John likely lived in the Schenectady area from 1790 to after 1798, either in Town of Florida or the Town of Amsterdam as the family history of the Avery Family stated that Nancy (Annetje) was born in the Town of Amsterdam. John's first 4 children were baptized in the Schenectady Dutch Reform Church (Ref #9B) and Cornelius at Rotterdam in January 1801 (Ref #10). It is assumed that he lived near his in-laws, the Dods, all this time, however no Montgomery County land deeds have yet been found to shown the Eglins as land owners in the present County of Montgomery. (the Town of Well was set of from Mayfair in 1805 and the Towns of Hope and Benson were set off from Wells at a later date)
The Eglins were early settlers of the Town of Benson (Ref #7) They held land in the Town of Mayfair by June 1824 being part of Lot 5 in the Subdivision of Great Lot 8 of the Glen, Bleecker and Lansing Patent. (This lot is now part of the Town of Benson, the Town of Benson was not "set off" from the Town of Hope until 1860 and was formerly part of the Town of Mayfair) . The property was about 1 mile west of North Street (which leads off Hamilton County Road 6 through Benson toward Cathead Mountain) and then about 1/2 mile south of Road #6.
At that time John was described as being a resident of the Town of Hope, Montgomery County. (Ref #13). This deed was registered in Montgomery County in 1832 when sold to son Silas.
The records of the County of Hamilton do not show the purchase of land in Benson by John Eglin, however they do record a sale in February 1826 (Ref#13) to Eliphalet Washburn dated 20 February 1826 of a portion of Lot 71 in the Benson Patent in the Town of Hope. It appears that neither John or Catherine could sign their names as the memorial of the deed indicates that it was signed with an "X".
(Ref #13) This property is in the present town of Benson about 1/2 mile north of Benson Center (which is at the end of Fulton County Road 125 when it enter the Town of Benson)
The conditions and the terrain would act to deter any land registration etc in Hamilton County as the County seat at Lake Pleasant would be extremely difficult to reach even from the Town of Benson. Farming in the area is extremely limited and one might suggest that life based on farming would be an existence only, tho game and fuel would be plentiful.
It is very likely that both the Eglins and Dods families came to Benson for the virgin timber in the area. It appears that John had a saw mill as reference (Ref #13A & B) is made to the Eglin Mill Lot in Great Lot 34 in the Glen, Bleeker and Lansing Patent in what is now the Town of Bleeker. A Branch of Stoney Creek flows through the lot and this would serve as a power source for the mill and provide enough water for steam during "low flow times" of the creek.
In January 1832 John and Catherine sold to their son Silas W. Eglin a portion of Lot 5 in the Subdivision of Great Lot 8 of the Glen, Bleeker and Lansing Tract in the Town of Mayfair, (now the Town of Benson) (Ref #13) One of the conditions of the sale was that Silas would look after them as long as they lived or pay them $8 per month. (the land involved was the land that they had purchased in 1824.) At the same time (1832) as John sold a portion of his mill Lot in Lot 34 of the Glen, Bleeker and Lansing Tract, he sold 160 acres of Lot 52 of the Benson Tract (Lot 52 was approx 1/2 mile north of Hamilton Road #6 and about a mile east of Benson Center)
Isaac Bodine whose wife was buried in the Middle Benson Cemetery was also an early settler of the Town of Benson. The Bodines were neighbours of the Eglins as were the Craigens and Anibals (see Aber's history of Hamilton County.)
Catherine Dods was born 23 September 1769 and was baptized at the Dutch Reform Church at Pompton Plains Morris County New Jersey) and was the daughter of Bartholemus Dods and Marjte Doremus. She died 18 April 1845 and is buried at Middle Benson Cemetery with her husband John. (Ref #1A). (See Dods Family History (revised March 2000) by RGM)

From Ronny Bodine (Dec 7, 2018):
The date of their marriage, 5 Nov 1806 in Amsterdam, NY, is noted in FamilySearch.org from an unknown contributor and has not been confirmed with an original record.
The will of Jacob Van Hoesen of the Town of Florida and County of Montgomery, New York, dated 15 Nov 1804 and probated 11 March 1812, names among his heirs a daughter Mary Bodine and states "I allow my son John to give to my grandson Isaac Bodine one milk Cow if he should continue to live with him until he marris..." [Montgomery County, NY Wills, v. 2 (1810-16), p. 120.
In "Contributions for the Genealogies of the Descendants of the First Settlers of thePatent and City of Schnectady fom 1662 to 1800," by Jonathan Pearson, Albany, 1883, p. 15, it states that John Bodine (Bodyn) married Maria Van Hoesen, and when taken in conjunction with Jacob Van Hoesen naming his daughter Mary Bodine and grandson Isaac Bodine, establishes that Isaac Bodine was another child of John Bodine and Mary (Maria) Van Hoesen. This is also related in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol. 51 (1920), p. 287.
Isaac ("Isaack Burdoin") was on the assessment roll in the Town of Florida, New York in 1805. He was listed as owning no real property, but owning personal property worth 50 (pounds?). I read that the early land owners in Montgomery County would not sell land to settlers, but rented the land instead. Perhaps this was why Isaac did not own any real property in 1805.

A mortgage recorded in Fonda, Montgomery County NY, dated Feb.18, 1811, was between Isaac Bodine of Mayfield and Amaziah Rust of Johnstown, $160.00 for 50 acres in lot 65 in Benson, Mayfield Twp.
From Wikipedia,
On April 12, 1816, Hamilton County was created by partitioning 1,800 square miles (4,700 km) from Montgomery County, but due to low population it remained unorganized and administered from Montgomery County, N.Y. until it was recognized as sufficiently prepared for self-government on January 1, 1838. The organization process was completed by summer 1847.
The History of Hamilton County, New York, by Ted Aber & Stella King (1965) mentions Isaac as an early settler of the town of Benson. Benson is 20 miles north of Florida.
On 15 April 1818, the southern district of the Town of Wells separated and was reorganized as the Town of Hope,
1820 Hope, Hamilton Co., NY: Isaac BODINE males 2(0-9), 1(16-25), 1(26-44); females 2(0-9), 3(10-15), 1(26-44)

Burial of Anna Bodine in a Cemetery in Middle Benson, Hamilton County, New York.
ANNA, wife of ISAAC BODINE, d. June 19, 1849, aged 69y 10mo 22da [= 28 July 1779]

1855 (15 June) Town of Florida, Montgomery Co., NY: John PHILLIPS 80 farmer, Maria BODINE 48 servant, Isaac BODINE 72 laborer. Maria & Isaac born in Montgomery County and resident in the town for 30 years.
Isaac's appearance at age 72 in the 1855 census is his last known appearance and as he is not found in the 1860 census, one may conclude that he died between June 1855 and June 1860.
