Some of the names I am researching are Samuel Fothergil Bodine b. 1793, Philip Stricker Bodine b. 1816, Daniel Webster Bodine b. 1857, Harry Woolman Bodine, b. 1883 and Olga Antonia Bodine-Wagner b. 1907. From Burlington Co., NJ,and a few other places in NJ. I do not have much info at this point other than names and place of birth. I especially want information on Daniel Webster Bodine, Harry Bodine, and Olga Antonia Bodine-Wagner.

I have more information. I have Anna O. Weigelt married to Harry Woolman Bodine b. 1883 NJ. Their children: Olga Antonia Bodine born March 1907 Philadelphia, PA; Inez S. Bodine born 1911 Philadelphia; Harry W. Bodine born 1913 Philadelphia, PA; Jeane L. Bodine born 1917 Darby, Delaware County, PA; an Vera M.O. Bodine born 1919 Darby, Delaware County. Census places them at the home of Harry Woolman Bodine in 1920, Fern Street, Darby Borough, Delaware County, PA.
I later wrote to Laurie and she told me that Harry Woolman Bodine was the son of Daniel Webster Bodine. Her address is "lhess27436 at aol.com".
From Ronny Bodine:
Harry Bodine and his family was living 1910 in Philadelphia where he worked as a salesman for a baking company, 1920 in Darby, Delaware County where he now was employed as a brakeman for the railroad and 1930 in Philadelphia where he worked as a railroad brakeman. Harry Bodine registered for the World War I draft on 12 Sept 1918 in Swarthmore, Delaware County and for the World War II draft in 1942 as a resident of Philadelphia and an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad working at the Broad Street Station.
