Notes for: Margaret Bodine
There were no witnesses named at the baptism. This is probably the Margritje Boudin who married a Joseph Keiser at the Kingston DRC in Ulster County, New York a little after January 7, 1789. For now, I will guess that it was, but this needs more proof.

Subject: Jacob Bodine Hall, born 1843, probably Herkimer Co., NY
Hello Dave,
I've been examining your "Ten Most Wanted" Bodine page.
I am trying to find parents of Margaret Keyser, born abt. 1800 in New York. She married John Dennis Hall about 1819. Both John and Margeret Hall are buried in Dibble Cemetery, Salisbury, Herkimer Co., NY.
I have John D. Hall's ancestry pretty well filled in, but I know nothing of Margaret Keyser's parents. In the "family lore" there is talk of "Grandmother Bodine", who would probably have been Margaret's mother or maternal grandmother. Another clue is that John D. and Margaret named one of their sons Jacob Bodine Hall -- so I have been examining the various Jacob Bodines who might have had a daughter who married a Mr. Keyser and then they had a daughter Margaret, born about 1800 in New York.
I'm sure this is not a bit of help to your research, but if you happen to have any Bodine information that would help me, I'd very much appreciate it. I'm willing to share my data if it happens to fill any gaps in yours.
