Notes for: Abraham Berdine
Here is a message from the Genforum Bodine Forum from Margaret Clark:
I'm trying to trace my Berdine/Bodine ancestry. My great grandmother was Cornelia Lefferts Berdine from New Brunswick, New Jersey, daughter of Abram Berdine who "died young".
We have an album of pictures labelled as follows: Charles Berdine, Aunt Mary and Uncle John B, Uncle John in fireman's clothes, Uncle Charles, Libby Berdine Outcalf (sp?) and baby Will, Little Aunt Mary, Bill Berdine, and Uncle Pete Cornell's daughter. We also have a letter from Miss Nellie Bodine, 423 Trinity Place, Elizabeth, NJ. Elderly relatives tell me that my great grandmother visited family graves on Staten Island. Thanks for any help! Margaret

Hi Dave--
...I suspect this family was a Bodine awhile back. This is what I have and it seems about all I can put together:
1860 Franklin Twp., Somerset Co., NJ: Jno. Bodine 46 NJ farmer, Margaret 45 NJ, John E. 18 NJ, Abram 11 NJ, Isaac 9 NJ.
1870 Franklin Twp., Somerset Co., NJ: John Berdine 56 NJ, Margaret 53 NJ, Abraham 21 NJ, Isaac 19 NJ
1880 Franklin Twp., Somerset Co., NJ: John Bodine 67 NJ, Amanda 58 NY wife
1880 Newark, Essex Co., NJ: Abraham Bodine 31 NJ toolmaker, Cornelia 22 NJ wife, Cornelia 8 mo. NJ dau.
1885 Franklin Twp., Somerset Co., NJ: John Bodine over 60, Amanda over 60, Cornelia 20-60, Nellie 5-20, Maud 0-4.
John Bodine was married to Margaret Deaton Cornell
Abraham Berdine, born 20 April 1849, died 25 Jan 1884. His wife was Cornelia Lefferts Stebbins. They had 2 daughters: Cornelia Lefferts Berdine and Maud Berdine who married Alfred Tindell.
So, we have JOHN BODINE b. 1814 NJ, living 1880 m. Margaret Deaton Cornell
Abraham Bodine 1849-1884 m. Cornelia Lefferts Stebbins.
Cornelia and Maud
Do you have an unaccounted John born 1814 in NJ?
I can only do so much with what I can lay my hands on.
