Notes for: Jacob Budine / Bodine
The assumption is being made in this file that the Jacob Bodine who married Elizabeth Delameter is the same as the Jacob and Elizabeth Bodine who appear in the 1850 Census of Middletown, Delaware County, New York. That connection is not certain, but it is quite possible.
It is highly likely that this Jacob's parents were Francis Bodine and Margaret Sluyter. They had children baptized at the Kingston DRC in Ulster County, New York between 1768 and 1792. One of those was a Jacob Bodine. He was baptized on January 31, 1774. That date would approximately match the birth dates that this Jacob might have had. This Jacob's birth years according to the censuses he was in, range from 1770 to 1775. Jacob and Elizabeth (Delameter) Bodine had a son, Francis, baptized at the Kingston DRC in 1800.
Although this family often went by the surname Budine, there is some good evidence that this family did sometimes go by the name Bodine. Jacob Budine's son, Moses, was listed as Moses Bodine in the 1880 Census of Hancock, New York. Moses' daughter, Jane, was listed as Jane Bodine in the May 28, 1864 edition of the Delphi Republican newspaper. And Moses' son, Marcus, was listed as Marcus Bodine in the 1880 Census of Walton, New York. Of course, the reporter or transcriber could have just incorrectly spelled their names, but maybe not.
Here are some notes from Phil Delamarter about Jacob Bodine / Budine:
Budine/Boudin. This may be the Jacob Bodine, bp. 31 Jan 1774, parents Francis Bodine and Margriet Sluyter.
The first appearance of my Jacob is in the 1800 census for Marbletown, Ulster Co., NY, p. 202. He appears with his wife, and 1 male under 10, which is probably the Francis who was christened in the DRC at Kingston.
By 1810, Jacob is in Middletown, Delaware Co., p. 487, with 3 males under 10, and 1 female under 10.
In 1820, Jacob is still in Middletown, p. 75, Jacob age 45 and up. In the household there is his wife, 1 male 16 - 26, 1 male 10 - 16, 2 males under 10, 1 female 10 - 16 and 1female under 10.
In 1830, Jacob is in the Town of Stamford, p. 181 with wife, both aged 50 to 60 (Jacob b. 1771-1780), 1 male age 15 - 20, 1 male 10 - 15, 1 female 15 - 20, 1 female 10 - 15, and 1 female 5 - 10.
1840 census shows Jacob in Town of Andes, Delaware Co., with wife, both age 60 - 70 (Jacob b. 1771 - 1780), and 1 male 20 to under 30, 1 female 5 to under 10 (grandchild?).
The census of 1850 lists Jacob, age 75, (Jacob b. 1775) wife Elizabeth, age 70, sons Thomas, age 30, and Levi, age 35. 1855 NY state census shows Jacob, age 83, (Jacob b. 1772) b. Ulster Co., and wife, Elizabeth, age 77, b. Dutchess Co., in household of Thomas Budine, age 39, b. Delaware Co., and his wife Cornelia, age 25 (?), and Levi, son of Jacob and Elizabeth, age 41, b. Delaware Co.
The 1860 census, Town Middletown, Andes P.O., Delaware Co., NY, p.57, is the last in which Jacob appears, age 90, without his wife, living in household of Thomas Strangeway b. in England, and wife Agnes. Census b. Scotland, (so I don't think she was a daughter).

Dave,
Thanks for writing! I apologize for not responding sooner - I have so little time to devote to genealogy anymore.
There is a great deal of confusion that exists concerning this Jacob Bodine. I have researched him for years, and have yet to be able to definitively prove his parentage. The christening records of the Dutch Reformed Church at Kingston show the christening of a Jacob Bodine, 31 Jan 1774, parents Francis Bodine and Margriet Sluyter - I believe that this is the Jacob who later married Elizabeth Delamater and went to Delaware Co., NY. I have traced the Jacob Bodines who appear in Orange Co. through census, probates, etc., and they all are accounted for, and are not the Jacob I seek. The Orange Co. Bodine branch seems to be quite distinct from the Ulster Co. branch, though they most likely came from the same initial immigrant, Jean Bodine, and his wife, Marie Crocheron.
I have collected through the years quite a bit of info on the Orange Co. branch, trying to either tie them in, or eliminate. There is much more information on the Orange Co. branch than there is on the Ulster Co. one. I suspect that the Ulster Co. ones were the "poor side" of the family, and therefore left less records. :)
It would have been so much more helpful if the Bodines of any locale would have named their children differently, but the same names keep showing up over and over again, making the research that much more difficult.
The first appearance of my Jacob is in the 1800 census for Marbletown, Ulster Co., NY, p. 202. He appears with his wife, and 1 male under 10, which is probably the Francis who was christened in the DRC at Kingston. (Doing the math, Jacob would have been born 1755-1774.)
By 1810, Jacob is in Middletown, Delaware Co., p. 487, with 3 males under 10, and 1 female under 10 (Jacob born 1765-1784).
In 1820, Jacob is still in Middletown, p. 75, Jacob age 45 and up. In the household there is his wife, 1 male 16 - 26, 1 male 10 - 16, 2 males under 10, 1 female 10 - 16 and 1 female under 10.
In 1830, Jacob is in the Town of Stamford, p. 181 with wife, both aged 50 to 60 (Jacob b. 1771-1780), 1 male age 15 - 20, 1 male 10 - 15, 1 female 15 - 20, 1 female 10 - 15, and 1 female 5 - 10.
1840 census shows Jacob in Town of Andes, Delaware Co., with wife, both age 60 - 70 (Jacob b. 1771 - 1780), and 1 male 20 to under 30, 1 female 5 to under 10 (grandchild?).
The census of 1850 lists Jacob, age 75, (Jacob b. 1775) wife Elizabeth, age 70, sons Thomas, age 30, and Levi, age 35. 1855 NY state census shows Jacob, age 83, (Jacob b. 1772) b. Ulster Co., and wife, Elizabeth, age 77, b. Dutchess Co., in household of Thomas Budine, age 39, b. Delaware Co., and his wife Cornelia, age 25 (?), and Levi, son of Jacob and Elizabeth, age 41, b. Delaware Co.
The 1860 census is the last in which Jacob appears, age 90, without his wife, living in household of Thomas Strangeway, and wife Agnes. Census says Agnes b. Scotland, so I don't think she was a daughter.
What is interesting about this particular line is that I have received several emails over the years in response to my posts saying that Jacob is the son of this one, or that one, and when I email asking for their proof and sources, I never get a reply.
I hope this isn't more than you wanted to know. :) Please feel free to email with any questions, or if I can provide any further information.

There is a Francis Bedine in the 1790 Census of Ulster County, New York who could be this Jacob's father. That is just a guess, but it is worth checking out. (Jacob did probably name his first child Francis.) Francis' listing in on page 111, line 335. In his household is one free white male aged 16 and up, two males up to age 16, and five females (no ages listed). One of the males could be this Jacob. Looking through my notes, I can't see a good candidate for who this Francis Bodine was. Some other people living near him in the Census appear below. One of these is a Cornelius Delameter. I wonder if this is not Elizabeth Delameter's father.
