Notes for: Catherine Elizabeth Bodine

I had this Catherine listed as the daughter of Peter I. Van Pelt Bodine (b. 1813), but RB has her as the daughter of this Edward Bodine. I will go with that.

There is the following record in "Staten Island Church Records: Collections of the New York Genealogical and Biograhical Society, v. IV," edited by Tobias Alexander Wright (1909), p. 133:

1834
June 15, 1833
Oct. 15
parents:
Abraham Housman
Catherine Housman
child: Mary Louisa
sponsors:
Bp. at Parents' house

RB sent me this: Catharine Elisabeth, daughter of Edwd. Bodine and Martha Ann Bedell, nee Decker, born 31 Jan 1848, bapt. 28 Dec 1849. This comes from church records he abstracted from the Moravian Church of Staten Island.

From Ronny Bodine:

The marriage of Albert Houseman and Catharine Elizabeth Bodine was recorded in the records of the Port Richmond Dutch Reformed Church. The Houseman family was living 1870 in Castleton, Richmond County where Albert worked as a brick mason. In 1880, Albert 'Housman,' now divorced, was living with his widowed mother Harriet Housman in Castleton.
