I have been working on my family tree on the Ancestry.com site & I'm stuck at the Nicholas & Cornelius link in my tree. I have gotten most of my information from research done for a lawsuit in September 1956 between a builder & Cornelius Bordine & c.,et als. over the Berdine's Corner area in North Brunswick. My father's mother was a Berdine & so he was summoned to testify at the hearing. Following is what I know from this information.
Cathaline Viola Berdine Johnson 1873 - 1946..........husband Leslie Phillip Johnson
William H.? Berdine, (her father) 1847 -1906............wife Margaret Sweeney
William Berdine (grandfather) 1822-1869.............wife Cathaline Applegate 1826-1914
Cornelius Bordine(Bodine) 17??-1840...................1st wife Johanna VanDerbilt ?-1815
....................................................................................................2nd wife and mother of Cornelius - Elizabeth (Betsy) Compton ?-?-
Nicholas Bordine(Bodine) 1746-1814.....................1st wife Dinah Van Lewe(Liew) 1750-?
....................................................................................................2nd wife & mother of Nicholas-Ann or Annabel Colcher or Hart 1743-1826

The rest I've taken from your wonderful web site & hope it's part of my family!!!
Jacob Bodine 1719-1748....................................................wife Catherine Bogart ?-?
Jacob Bodine 1684-1765....................................................wife Elizabeth Sebring 1677-1752
John Bodine 1662-1745.....................................................wife Mary Crocheron 1660-1703

Can you help me with any of my blank dates and wife names? It seems that Cornelius & Nicholas are such a stumbing block with so many family lines. However, I am quite sure "my" Cornelius & Nicholas are correct for my line but I'm unsure of wives & siblings.

Thank you for any help or information you can send me.
