Hi Dave,
Before I go into the grandchildren of John Neal Bodine, Sr., I thought I would ask if you had any information further back than what was in the last email you sent me? It included Rachel D. Keller's parents as being John R. Keller and Keziah Davis, but I didn't see John Painter Bodine's parents, who were Joseph Bodine and Rebecca M. Painter. Joseph Bodine's parents were Henry Bodine and Margaret Lydia Adeline Groff. If that is something you don't already have, I can give you some dates on those names as well that I got through familysearch.org.
Now, for those grandchildren:
John Neal Bodine, Jr. and Jill Ann Hallberg adopted Emily Ruth as a baby. Now her name is Jenifer Emily Ruth Bodine. I don't know her last name before the adoption. She was born on May 1, 1986. Their son, Jeremy John Russell Bodine was born to them on June 30, 1988.
Thomas Edward Bodine and his first wife Geri had Nicole Bodine on March 27, 1981.
Thomas Edward Bodine and his second wife Michelle Cameron had Nathan Thomas Bodine on January 22, 1984. (Nathan has since changed his last name to Cameron.)
Diana Lynn Bodine and Dallas Eugene Lewis had Dallas Lee Lewis on February 10, 1982 and Darci Lynn Lewis on May 30, 1985.
Richard Lee Bodine and Elizabeth Marie Pesuti had Angela Therese Pesuti* on August 12, 1983 and Daniel Ryan Pesuti on September 16, 1985.
Richard Lee Bodine and Stacy Dawn Jerome had Matthew Richard Bodine on February 24, 1998 and Gabriel Jerome Bodine on June 27, 2000.
* Angela Therese is due to have John Neal Bodine's first great grandchild in April '05.
Kevin Jay Bodine and Nicola Maria Adames adopted at birth Katherine Ann Bodine, who was born on May 18, 2000.
Timothy Joseph Bodine adopted the children of his wife Sheila Lynn Webber after a year of marriage. They married on May 8, 1993. The children are Jennifer Bodine b. Aug. 22, 1983 and Michael Bodine b. June 28, 1986.
As previously noted, Kevin Jay Bodine died on June 4, 2002. He was a police officer for the Columbus, Ohio police department. He had a rare and hereditary (his mother's side) kidney disorder and had had both kidneys removed, was waiting for dialasys or transplant when he had a heart attack.
This has been a lot of fun filling in blanks. Wish I could be of more help going the other direction! Thank you again,
Stacy Bodine
