Notes for: George Bodine

There is a George W. Bodine in the 1855 Census of Orange Twp., Schuyler Co., NY who might match this George Bodine, but that is only a guess. It needs more research since this data might also match the George Bodine who is the son of Cornelius Bodine (this John's brother). Note that this part of Schuyler County was formed from Steuben County in 1854.

George Bodine died at some point after the 1880 census. He died intestate and his death was not recorded by the state of New York and the state census of 1892 for Schuyler County is lost. However, he was apparently dead by 1891 as noted next:
