Notes for: Elijah Bodine

This is a probable son of Vincent Bodine.

From Ronny Bodine:

Upon the abolishment of Bute County in 1779 and its division to form Warren and Franklin Counties, Vincent Bodine found himself as a resident in the latter. On 19 Sept 1787, in Franklin County, Elijah Bodine witnessed a deed between Thomas Glover of Franklin County and Henry Taylor of Nash County (Franklin Co. Deeds, 6: 37). This is the only known reference to Elijah Bodine and as the only Bodine family in Franklin County was that of Vincent Bodine it seems likely Elijah was his son. To have witnessed the deed in 1787, Elijah would have been at least 18 years of age. As there is no other record of him, he apparently did not long survive.
