Notes for: Jesse Green Bodine
Betty has a picture of Jesse Green Bodine with his daughter Jenny given to her by Floyd Bodine when she visited him in his home in Dallas. There was a Jess D. Bodine who married an Ada Drennan in Jefferson County, Illinois on October 31, 1891. Could that have been this Jesse?
Cathy (cjleeper at aol.com) sent me the following census info. It may or may not apply to this Jesse Bodine:
