This paper says that Daniel Bodin went to Medis in the provice of Saintonge and married Catherine de Brun, of an old French family. He had four children by her, all baptized in l'Eglise de Londres with the exception of the eldest son, Daniel, who was a "native of Cambray" when he married in London on July 30, 1637 to Marie "fille de feu Andre Croise, natif de Valenciennes" and had three children baptized in l"Eglise de Londes 1638-1644. He returned to Medis with wife and children and had another son, Jean, and a daughter, Sarah. Jean Bodine, the son, was born in Medis, 1645.
The article goes on to claim that because of hard times and persecution of Protestants in Saintonge, Jean Boudin and his friend Francis Bridon with a daughter Esther fled from there and arrived in London in 1681- "Jean Boudin et Esther, sa femme, et Francois Bridon, fugitives de Medis, Election de Saintes" were naturalized (see Denizations 33 Cas. II). They settled in Rye, Sussex, where many French emigrees had located, forming a small colony. Later on Jean Boudin and his family, consisting of wife Esther and one son Jean and a daughter Marianne emigrated to Staten Island about 1682 (Baird, Huguenot Emigration, II, 29). Maria Anne married in the French Church of New York, Jean Abelin (Registers), and Jean made his will in New York in 1707 (N. Y. Calendar of land papers IV. 84).
It also says that Jean Bodin and other settlers came to Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co., NJ where they had grants of land 1687 from the proprietors of East New Jersey (E. N. J. deeds 2.115/6).
