Ellen Rebecca - Death certificate states doctor attended her from Oct 10
- Nov l0 which makes me accept the Nov 11 date, too. She died at her daughter's home in New Jersey - from family info and certificate. She was called Ella or Ellie by her peers and Granny by two granddaughters.
Ellen R and Elias Bennett are both buried at Union Cemetery, Richboro, Bucks Co, Pa. I did not realize I should take pictures of the tombstones at the time I was there.
The marriage certificate looks like HH Bodine as the minister. I am not good at reading the initials.
Martha Kimble Bodine's birth date was a typo. It should be 1812.
If you would like copies of death certificate, marriage certificate, letter, etc. in my possession, please let me know. These were found in the Bennett family Bible.
Re Family Search Records
McClure Bodine and Martha Kemble marriage must be John McClure and Martha Kimble.
l880 census - The only age that appears correct is Martha at 68. John M. and Mrs. Martha Bodine is a bit of a mess if my records are correct I have no idea who Cynthia was unless a child who died young or David's wife.
Think I should get copies of other death certificates and see where that leads us.
