Notes for: Joshua Githens Bodine
I think this is the Joshua Bodine in the 1850 Census of Mellville, Cumberland County, New Jersey. He's 25, Mary is 22, Sarah is 3, and Joel is 1. There is also a Sarah (48) and a Sarina (12) in their household. I think this Sarah might be his step-mother and Sarina would be his half-sister.
There is a Joshua Bodine in the 1880 Census of Pittsburgh, PA who may be this Joshua, but I am only guessing.
