Archives: Elisha Bodine Family Bible


I received this transcription of the Elisha Bodine family Bible from Denise Oliver-Velez (deoliver at pipeline.com) and Robin Toms (TOMSFAMILY at aol.com). They received this Bible record directly or indirectly from Helen Bodine (helenb at planetkc.com). This is what Helen said, "This is information that Aunt Anna hand copied from the family Bible. Maxine Taylor had her mother's copy, and I hand-copied it - not a copy machine. This is the same information that Denise Oliver has."

Note from Dave Bodine: I believe this means that the information below is a copy of another copy of the Bible. That would make the likelihood of mistakes quite high, but I don't know of anything myself.

Helen went on to say, "I hope this 'stuff' will be helpful. I have tried to key this in like the orginal copy--the spacing, spelling, and punctuation. Ellen Agusta Burns Born in Augusta Maine is not a typing error. My guess would be that they did not want her name spelled exactly like the name of the town. Sometimes 'Born' is capitalized and other times not--that is the way it is on the original copy. Same way with Augusta Maine with no comma between the city and state."

Note from Dave Bodine: I've adjusted a couple of things to make the list below a little easier to read. I have not made what I think are any significant changes.

This is the family and descendants of Elisha Bodine (b. Nov. 27, 1790, Montgomery, Orange Co., NY) and his four wives: Susannah Comfort, Mary Stites/Stiles, Mary Mitchell, and Sally Millspaugh. This may have last belonged to Anna Anetta (Bodine) Raikes, but I'm guessing about that. Anna was the daughter of George Emerson and Edwardeen Hortense (Bratt) Bodine. I'm not sure who has the Bible today. There are also many of the Burns family in this Bible. The Burns are the family of Mary Estella Burns: her parents and siblings. Mary Burns was the second wife of George Emerson Bodine.
