Some have said that Daniel went to Somerset County, New Jersey.
Later I found this:
1763 Nov 19 - Sebring, Daniel of Reading Twp, Hunterdon Co., NJ
Wife Catherine gets house & 5 acres. To Daniel McKinney 50, rest to nephews Daniel & Peter Belew, Mordecai McKenney and Peter Bodine. Son-in-law Peter Bodine and nephew Isaac Belew get apparel. Proved 31 Jan 1764.
Here is some new information:

Subject: BODINE-LABOYTEAUX marriage?
Dave,
Do you know anything about this BODINE family? I am a LABOYTEAUX researcher. I have been trying to find information on Jean/John BODINE and his family.
Audrey
JEAN / JOHN BODINE
Little is known of John Bodine and thus little is written of him. His BODINE parents and family members are unknown at this time. It is appears he was married perhaps around 1730 to Catherine LeBoiteaux/Laboyteaux, dau/o Gabriel LeBoiteaux/Laboyteaux and Agnes Constance LeBrun. Their children are given as: Gabriel (probably named for his maternal grandfather), Caterena, and Johannes, but nothing is known of the children either.
See: Traders at Raritan Landing
http://www.raritanlanding.com/voices/traders.htm
Under John Bodine...mentions Paul Laboyteaux (partner of John Bodine) and Paul's sister, Catherine (John Bodine's wife) and John's & Catherine's children: Gabriel, Caterena, and Johannes, all baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Brunswick as it indicates, " We were as close to Catherine's people in Piscataway as we were to my own right here at the Landing. " John & Paul were in business together by 1737, and John speaks of his wife, Catherine, being sister of his partner.
It appears that John Bodine died young, for it is said that Catherine is believed to have married perhaps about 1740 to Daniel Sebring and by her had no heirs. It would seem also that Daniel could have been married previously, but no other record indicates this as Daniel appears to be about 30 years Catherine's senior, and Daniel is said to have had no heirs listed in his will. A joint sponsorship of a child being baptized and witnessed by Daniel Sebring and Catherine Laboyteaux would appear to provide some legitimacy to the marriage.
Catherine's mother, Agnes (Lebrun) Laboyteaux/Leboiteaux married as her second husband, Roelof Sebring.
And here is another message by Audrey:

[Dave,]
The following came from "freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bodine/n3895.htm":
Notes for: Peter Bodine
No baptismal record has been found for this possible child of Jacob and Elizabeth. He is mentioned in the Somerset County Genealogical Quarterly, December of 1985, pages 233-237.
Daniel Sebring, Elizabeth's brother, left his estate to several nephews, including "Peter Bodine" (NJW no. 635J). Since Elizabeth Bodine was Daniel's sister, it is assumed that this Peter must have been her son - and therefore Daniel's nephew.
The article went on to say that this Peter had a daughter baptized in 1752 at the Raritan church. Presently, I have that child as the daughter of Peter Bodine, son of Abraham Bodine. This could be incorrect.
ere is an abstract of Daniel Sebring's will, but I think it may have a mistake calling Peter Bodine "son-in-law."
1763 Nov 19 - Sebring, Daniel of Reading Twp, Hunterdon Co., NJ
Wife Catherine gets house & 5 acres. To Daniel McKinney 50, rest to nephews Daniel & Peter Belew, Mordecai McKenney and Peter Bodine. Son-in-law Peter Bodine and nephew Isaac Belew get apparel. Proved 31 Jan 1764.
[from Audrey] Might I suggest that this Peter Bodine was the eldest s/o Jan/John Bodine b 1712 (s/o Peter Bodine) & Catherine Laboyteaux, and that Daniel Sebring married the widow, Catherine (Laboyteaux) Bodine. So in reality...this Peter would have been the son-in-law (step-son according to law) of Daniel Sebring and thus perhaps inherited from the estate of his step-father.
I don't think it was a mistake.
Audrey
Note from Dave: I would agree with Audrey's conclusions here. Therefore, the Peter Bodine mentioned as Daniel Sebring's "son-in-law" in his will would be his "step son-in-law" if we could call him that. The Peter Bodine mentioned as his nephew would probably be, as I have mentioned before, the son of his sister Elizabeth Sebring. Therefore, these are two different Peter Bodine's mentioned in his will.

Hi Dave,
I realize that you are probably swamped with questions regarding your Bodine genealogy webpages so I will try and make this quick.
On the following webpage, you give an abstract of the will of Daniel Sebring:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bodine/n11282.html
I would like to know two things. First do you still have notes or a copy of it which would give an idea of where exactly you found the abstract?
Second, is there a possibility that the dates might be wrong? As I understand it, normally in abstracts the first date given is the
date the will was written and/or signed. The second date is the date the will was proved in court by the witnesses to that signing (witnesses have been omitted or there were none in the example on the webpage) and any other dates that might be given relate to the administration of the will and the estate, such as the appointing of administrators or the filing of an inventory, etc.
I have a secondary source which gives the information that the will was written in 1743, in Hunterdon Co, proved on 19 Nov 1763 and the inventory filed 1764.
I am trying to track back to the original abstract at least for both citations.
Thank you for any help you may be able to give and your co-operation in this small matter.

Hi all,
Here's a broader picture of Daniel Sebring as a witness, which may
indicate that his first wife was indeed Catharina Vroom, baptized 6
April 1690 at Brooklyn, the daughter of Hendrick Corssen and Josyntje
Pieters Van Neste.
Remember that the Somerset County Historical Quarterly only mentioned
the following 5 baptisms, but there were as many as 10.
> He [Daniel Sebring] appears in the records of the Raritan church as a
> witness at baptisms with "Lisabet" in 1705, and with "Maria" in 1711;
> and also in the records of the North Branch (Readington) church as a
> witness at baptisms in 1720, '50 and '55, with "Catharine, zyn vrou,"
> and "Catharine Le Boi Teana," who doubtless, therefore, was his wife.
Daniel Sebring appeared as a witness:
Raritan [SCHQ II]
3 Apr 1706; Janse, Auke and wife--Jan. Witnesses: Daniel and Lisebet
Sebrige.
25 Apr 1711; Bodien, Jacob and wife--Maryken. Witnesses: Daniel and
Marya Sebregh
6 Aug 1712; Vroom, Hans and wife--Meritien. Witnesses: Jesyntien (???);
Daniel Sebrege
18 May 1715; Boegert, Cornelis and wife--Raechell. Witnesses: Daniel
Sebreges; Seytie Van Neste
3 Apr 1717; Maghiny, Mardighaey and wife--Daniel. Witnesses: Daniel
Sebregh and wife
28 Feb 1720; Vroom, Hindrick and wife, Jannitie--Sara. Witnesses:
Daniel Sebring and wife Kaatie.
Readington [SCHQ IV]
9 Apr 1720; Chrison, Josua and Catharina--Aaltje. Witnesses: Daniel
Sebring and Catharina, his wife
Harlingen [GMNJ 15:60]
May 18, 1727, Mordechaei, child of Mordechaei Makinni and Marietje
Sebring; wit. by Daniel Sebring and Kaetje Vroom.
Readington [SCHQ VI & V]
May 1750; Vroom, Hendrick and Gerritje Staats--Catherina. Witnesses:
Daniel Sebring and Catherina Sebring
13 Apr 1755; Ten Broeck, Cornelius and Maria--Johannes. Witnesses:
Daniel Sebring and Catherine Le boy Teaub.
Daniel Sebring may have married Cathrina/Kaetje Vroom circa 1716, and
since they were witnesses at the baptism of Sara Vroom in 1720, a clear
association with the Vroom family can be established which makes a
better case for this placement..

Pam Sears
From Mike Morrissey's database on WorldConnect:
He is a witness for several baptisms. His wife may have been Catherine Vroom,d/o Hendrick & Josyntje Van Nest. Daniel was a witness for one of the grandchildren and he and his wife Catherine were witnesses for another.
She is also thought to be Catherine Laboyteaux, widow of John Bodine (see his will mentioning his son-in-law (step-son?) Peter Bodine, but he also mentions his nephew Peter Bodine, presumably a son of his sister Elizabeth), but that means he was married to 2 different Catherines.
Daniel Sebring and his wife, Catherine, were witnesses for the following baptism at the DRC of Readington:
9 Apr 1720 Chirson, Josua and Catherine, Aaltje
Daniel Sebring and his wfe were witnesses for the following baptism at the DRC of Raritan:
3 Apr 1717 Maghiny, Mardighaey and wife - Daniel
