Notes for: Elizabeth Jane Bodine
Some of this info comes from the Charles Fox book on the Joseph Fox family. In the 1830 Census of Wayne County, Ohio, her name is listed as "Eliza Jane." She was 10-15 years old. I did just have her name written down as "Elizabeth."
The 1850 Census of Wooster, Wayne Co., OH lists a Jane Bodine, daughter of Samuel and Mary; however I'm not sure who she matches. She is 29 and born in Pennsylvania. The age may be incorrect since Levina's is way off. But I bet the birthplace is correct.
From Ronny Bodine:
