Notes for: William Addison ("Ad") Bodine
This is Sally Favor Mooney's great-grandfather. Her email address is wfmooney at erols.com. Her oldest sister is Bobby Bodine Favor. Sally said that her great-grandfather, this William Addison Bodine, was also called "Ad." So I put Seth and Ad both as sons of Andrew Jackson Bodine. I think Sam Bodine said "Ad" had two wives. There are a number of his children and other Bodines buried in Richland Springs Cemetery in San Saba County, Texas.
Ronny Bodine wrote, "I actually found that his death was indeed recorded in Bexar County, Texas as William Addison Bodine. The name was incorrectly transcribed as Bodne, but in the original document was faintly evident as Bodine."
From Ronny Bodine:
When William's parents divorced in 1870, William went to live with his mother and in 1880, aged 17, was living with his mother and stepfather, Margaret and Lorenzo Munsell in Webber, Jefferson County. The William Bodine family was living 1900-1930 in San Saba County, Texas. The death of Cornelia Bodine was recorded in San Saba County as Mrs. W. A. Bodine on 12 March 1930, but the date inscribed on her grave marker is 18 April 1930. Priscilla (Marlow) Bodine was the daughter of James A. and Priscilla (Short) Marlow. Richland Springs Cemetery, San Saba County is the final resting place of W. A. Bodine and his two wives Prilla and Nellia.
