Notes for: Frederick ("Fred") Bodine

Witnesses were Johann Bickel and Barbara. Baptised as Fredericus Bedein. A Pickel web site said he was baptized on August 20, but no source was given.

In 1840, a Christianna Bardine is found in Liberty Township, Columbia County, Pennsylvania (a spin-off from Madison I think). I put this here because there is a Christianna Bodine who was the widow of a Frederick Bodine. This is found in the Wills and Administrations, Book 2, p. 11, of Columbia County, PA (dated May 4, 1836). I think that Christianna could very well be the widow of this Frederick Bodine. In her household there is
1 male, 20-30: b. 1810-1820.
1 female, 10-16: b. 1824-1830.
1 female, 15-20: b. 1820-1825.
1 female, 20-30: b. 1810-1820.
1 female, 40-50: b. 1790-1800 (Christianna?)

Here is the entry from the Wills and Administrations book mentioned above. This only seems to be a handwritten copy of an original record somewhere else, maybe in the Orphan Court Records.
