Notes for: Samuel F. Bordine
He may have been born in Schenectady and then moved to Orleans County, New York when he was eleven years old. Samuel's farm was located on Gorsline Road. This would be east of Battle Creek on the road to Turkeyville off of Verona Road.
Here is some information regarding Jacob from Karen Bordine:

Dave,
I found some details when I went to New York that I want to give you too, about other Bodine/Bordines in Montgomery County. About Jacob Bordine (#6 on your most wanted list), in 1793 he was the witness on the will of Hermanus Staley from Florida, NY. Hermanus was the brother of Hendrick Staley, who was the husband of Rachel Van Huesen. Rachel was the sister of Maria Van Huesen, the wife of the John Bodine mentioned in Pearson's book on Schenectady. This definitely ties Jacob Bordine to John Bodine. Jacob was on an assessment roll in the town of Florida in 1796, 1807. 1808, 1809, and 1812, but was not listed in 1816. In fact, it appears Jacob sold his land and moved to Orleans County in 1816 ("the year without a summer") because there is a mortgage dated April 5, 1816 between a Nicholas Bodine of Charleston and Jacob Bodine. Jacob sold his land to Nicholas, and also stated that Nicholas should support Jasper, Samuel, and Dinah if Jacob should die before they were grown, provide them with a good "English" education, and give them each $200.00 when they reached the age of 21, and give $200.00 to Moriah within two years. This sounds like the names of Jacob's children by his wife before Christina Marlatt. I think Nicholas was an older son of Jacob's. I also found the baptism of Jacob and Ann's son, Samuel, born in August 1809, and baptised Sept. 17, 1809. This differs from what some researchers say about the birth of Samuel being in 1811, and Anne in 1812. There was no Anne mentioned in Jacob's mortgage in April 1816. But I saw an 1880 census record for Anne and husband Harmanus Vedder in Michigan where Anne gave her age as 64, which would mean she was born in 1816, after the date of the April 5th mortgage, and would also mean that Christina Marlatt was Anne's mother. I also found Florida Town Records listing Jacob as a "pathmaster" and as a bondsman. One mystery though, is that there appears to be a Jacob Bordine on the 1810 Census in Florida, and also in Charleston, with different numbers of children...which means there must have been two Jacob Bodine/Bordines.
If Nicholas and Jasper are the sons of Jacob Bordine, then the researchers are wrong who say they are the sons of Nicholas and Anne Berdine from New Brunswick, New Jersey. Nicholas was married to Sarah Waterman in the town of Glen, Montgomery County, on Dec. 29, 1811. Nicholas and Jasper both moved to Cattaraugus County later, and then Nicholas moved to Hebron, Indiana.

Here's another message about some of the above:

Hello, Dave!
The source of the birth and baptism of Samuel Bordine was the church records of the Reformed Dutch Church of Florida, New York, kept in the History And Archives Building in Fonda, Montgomery County, New York. I don't know if the Anne named as Jacob's wife was the same woman known as Nancy, but wasn't Nancy a nickname for Anne?
I have not seen the death certificate for Samuel F. Bordine. I assumed that the Samuel born in 1809 in Florida, New York to Jacob and Anne Bordine was the same Samuel that Dolly Bordine has researched. I know that a Samuel Bordine was associated with Christina Marlatt in Orleans County, New York. In the Albion Library, in Orleans County, there is a book, "Landmarks of Orleans County, New York" , page 596, which tells of 25 acres in Lot 20 deeded to Christina Bordine on Jan. 1, 1839 by the Farmer's Loan & Trust Company (book #21, page #433). But in the County Clerk's office, the deed book named Samuel Bordine on the deed instead of Christina Bordine.
Dolly's Samuel was married to Mercy Ann Van Ness, who was born in Orleans County, according to J. Kiessling (Scaler32 at aol.com). Samuel went to Michigan with the rest of Jacob Bordine's children after Jacob died. I don't know why the birthdate of the Samuel I found differs from the birthdate reported for Samuel by Dolly Bordine. One possible reason could be that Samuel's father may have been illiterate. I found two records that showed that Isaac Bodine/Bordine could not read or write. One was a mortgage in 1834 on which Isaac made his mark after his name, and the other a census record in 1850 on which Isaac declared that he could not read or write. I have asked Deanna Smith to double check the mortgages on Jacob Bordine to see if he signed his name or made a mark. But if Jacob was an older brother of Isaac's, it seems quite possible that he also could not read or write.

Ronny Bodine sent me the following census info:
1840 Yates, Orleans Co., NY:
Samuel BERDINE males 2(0-4), 1(30-39); females 1(20-29).
[Note from Dave: This does match this Samuel Bordine.]
Christina BERDINE males 2(5-9), 1(15-19), 1(20-29); females 1(10-14), 1(15-19), 1(40-49).
[Note: This would match Christiana (Marlatt) Bordine.]
