Notes for: Sarah (Sally) Bodine
The information on this family comes from the following query:
Am searching for information about the origins of John Hervey STITT, b. 1754, probably in Ulster Co., NY. who married Nancy McCullough. His obituary indicates that he lived in Shawangunk in Ulster Co. before moving to Bloomingburgh on the Sullivan/Orange Co. line. All I know about his family is: Father Stitt was Irish (trying to find name) Mother Stitt was Dutch (trying to find name) Children: 1. James 2. William, b. 4 June 1762, d. 18 Mar 1819, Bloomingburg, OH, m. Sarah Bodine 19 Nov 1794, Shawangunk 3. John Hervey (my 4th great grandfather) 4. Esther (my 4th great grandmother), m. Daniel Porter 15 Oct 1789, Shawangunk 5. Hannah 6. Polly 7. Alexander

Hi!
I am researching my Stitt line, and collateral lines. One such line is that of William Stitt and Sarah (Sally) Bodine.
I came across your website, where you have William Stitt Bodine listed. I'm guessing that his naming was because of the following connection between the Bodine and Stitt families. My theory is that this Sarah might have been a sister of Wm S. Bodine's father, Benjamin Bodine...although I'm sure they could also have been cousins. Do you have anything on this in your notes?
All the best,
Lisa Stitt

This Sarah Bodine is probably related to Moses Bodine, husband of Hannah Newkirk. Here is a message related to that:

Hi:
Ran across your website doing research on one of my Stitts who married a Bodine.
William Stitt (1762-1819) m. Sarah (Sally) Bodine (1773-1858) on Nov 19, 1794 per Shawangunk church records. When I saw that Moses Bodine had a son William Stitt Bodine, I came to the same conclusion that you did: that Moses Bodine was probably Sarah Bodine Stitt's brother. There was an additional reason for me thinking this: William and Sarah Stitt had a son, Moses Bodine Stitt (1797-1877). Of course, I'm still trying to figure out who their father was!

From Ronny Bodine:
From Dutch Reformed Church of Shawangunk, Ulster County, Marriages: 19 Nov 1794: William Stitt and Sally Bodine.
The relationship of Sarah Bodine to Moses Bodine, both of whose parents are unknown, seems to be confirmed by the fact that Moses Bodine named a son William Stitt Bodine (1819) and William Stitt named a son Moses Bodine Stitt (1797).
In 1814, William Stitt moved his family to Fayette County, Ohio, with a group of settlers from the Bloomingburg, New York area. The area in which they settled is now the village of Bloomingburg, Ohio. The following children were all baptized at Graham's Church, Pine Bush, Orange County, New York: Lavinia, b. 1796, Moses Bodine, b. 4 Nov 1797, John, b. 27 Jan 1800, Hiram, b. 22 May 1802, William Hervey, b. 5 Dec 1803, Maria, b. 7 Oct. 1805, Jason, b. 28 Sept 1807, James McNeil, b. 26 Jan 1809. Another child, Kate, was born in 1806 and may have died in infancy as her baptism was not recorded.
