Notes for: James Bodine, Jr.

Sinnott says he moved, in 1816, to what is now Ocean County, New Jersey. He located at Mannahawkin along with his brother Tunis, and entered into the mercantile business (p. 166). I did have a birth date of November 26, 1793. He was baptized by Rev. James Birkby.

I did have that he died in Ocean County, but RB had Monmouth County.

From Ronny Bodine (Dec. 22, 2021):

James Bodine was bapt. at the Moravian Church, Richmond County.

p.77. "Of the sons of James Bodine, two came to what is now Ocean county in 1816, namely, Tunis and James. They originally located at Manahawken, and entered into the mercantile business ; beside which they started a stage line, probably the first, from the ferry below the village to Mount Holly ; James soon sold out and left, and embarked on a ship, and subsequently died of cholera."

His widow, Elizabeth, married 2ndly, Charles Swift, 29 June 1823 at St. Andrews Protestant Episcopal Church, Richmond County.
