Notes for: Ann (Nancy) Bodine
I'm not sure if her first name is actually Ann or Nancy. The marriage records use Ann Bodine, but the account below says Nancy Bodine. I think Nancy is often a nickname for Ann, so I'd guess it is Ann ("Nancy") Bodine.
From Ronny Bodine:
See the biographical sketch of their son, Edward Winslow Coffin, in "Biographical review: containing life sketches of leading citizens of Camden and Burlington Counties, New Jersey," Boston: Biographical Review Publishing Co., 1897, p. 335:
"William Coffin, Major Coffin's father, was born in Green Bank. He became a prominent businessman and extensive landed proprietor, and was the owner and first settler of the villages of Hammonton and Winslow, Hammonton being named for his son, John Hammond, and Winslow for his son Edward Winslow. He was largely interested in the manufacture of glass in each of these towns. He resided at Hammonton, where he died in 1844, at the age of seventy years. His wife, Nancy Bodine, was born at Swago, Burlington County. Her ancestors were French Huguenots, and were early settlers in New Jersey; and her father, Joel Bodine, was a hotel-keeper at Longacoming (now Berlin). He reared a family of four children. Mrs. Coffin died at the age of eighty-four years. She was the mother of ten children, three of whom are now living, namely: Bodine, John Hammond; and Edward Winslow, the subject of this sketch."
In addition to the foregoing, William Coffin established the Winslow Glass-Works, around which grew the town of Winslow, now in Camden County. He served as the first postmaster of Hammonton from 1827 until his death. William and Ann Coffin were buried in Colestown Cemetery, near Haddonfield, New Jersey.
