Notes for: Sarah Ann Bodine
She was living in Amboy, NJ at the time of her grandfather James Bodine, Sr.'s death May 13, 1838.
From Ronny Bodine (Dec. 22, 2021):
From the will of James Bodine of Castleton, dated 12 Dec 1836 and proved 16 May 1838 [Richmond Co. Wills, E (1833-1839), p. 281-289)
"9th I give and Bequeath unto my two grand children, viz.- Egbert T. N. Bodine and Sarah Ann Bodine, one hundred Dollars each; to be first paid out of my estate, and put at interest by my executors here after named, and the principal and interest paid to them, viz. the male at the age of twenty one, and the female at eighteen."
From the will probate (E, p. 283): On 16 May 1838, Stephen Wood consents to become guardian of Egbert T.N. Bodine, Sarah Ann Bodine and Elizabeth Wood "to take care of the interests of the said minors." Egbert resides in New York and Sarah in Amboy, New Jersey. Yet, in there is no formal record of his appointment in the guardianship records. Stephen Wood was married to the late Nancy Ann Bodine who died in 1828 and was the former son-in-law of James Bodine and thus uncle of the minors for whom he assumed guardianship.
Since Stephen Wood consented to become guardian of Egbert on 16 May 1838, then Egbert was not yet 21, thus born after May 1817.
From the will of John Bodine of New York City, dated 24 Oct 1857 and proved 11 May 1859, names as his heir his sister Elizabeth, widow of Isaac B. Swift, and her children, who are not named. [Richmond Co. Wills, I, p. 321).
