Notes for: Jennie (Jane) Bodine

Here is something that was sent to me from the card files at the Hunterdon County Historical Society:

Bodine Reunion 1909 at Island Park, near Easton, Pa. through the efforts of J. V. Bodine.

Those present were: Jane Bodine, Miss Carrie Bodine, Miss Lucy Bodine (Sandy Ridge ), Mrs. Lewis Bodine of Englishtown, Mr. & Mrs Walt Bodine of Philadelphia, Mr. & Mrs. Howard Bodine -- Gradnson of Howard Bodine, Trenton, NJ.

Note: These people may be related to Charles W. Bodine (husband of Hannah Shadinger). The Howard Bodine may be his son. If so, this tells me that Howard would be the grandson of William H. Bodine and that the "H" stands for "Howard." This is only a guess however. Here are my guesses as to who else was there: Mr & Mrs Walt Bodine could be Charles "W." Bodine (husband of H. Shadinger). Maybe the "W" stands for "Walter." Mrs. Lewis Bodine is the wife of Charles's son, Lewis. Carrie and Jane would be daughters of William H. Bodine. I'm not sure who Lucy or J. V. Bodine are.

From Ronny Bodine:

In 1870, she was Jane Bodine, age 9 and in 1880, Jennie Bodine, age 18, living with her parents. In 1900-1910, Jennie Bodine, single, lived with her brother Wesley in Delaware Township, Hunterdon County. In 1930, Jennie Bodine, age 68 and single, lived with her widowed sister, Anna Rolle, in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey where she worked as a cook.
