Notes for: Phoebe (Phebe) J. Bodine

I did have a separate daughter of John Bodine and Catherine Britton named Patty Bodine, married to Peter Post. However, info from Ronny Bodine shows that Phoebe and Patty seem to be the same person. See John's Notes page.

In Ira K. Morris's Memorial History of Staten Island, NY (v. 1), he says John married Catherine Britton, the sister of Nathaniel Britton. The following also comes from that book. It is talking about John and Catherine. It is more than a little confusing, but here it is word for word: Their sons were John (usually recognized in local history as "Squire John"), Jacob (the father of William H. J. and Edmund Bodine), the late Captain John, James, Jacob, Albert, and Vincent. There were three daughters, who removed from the Island. James was the father of the late Abraham Bodine, of Mariners' Harbor, and of several sons and daughters now dead.

Note from Dave: I have no idea why this appears to say that John and Catherine had two sons named John and two sons named Jacob. The article makes no mention, it seems, of their sons Nathaniel, Abraham, and Edmund. There could be mistakes in my data here or mistakes in the article.

From Ronny Bodine:

The Lisk family was living 1850-1860 in Northfield, Richmond County where Egbert engaged in farming. Egbert and Phoebe Lisk were buried in the Reformed Dutch Church Cemetery, Richmond County.

Children: Frances (c1834), Mary J. (c1836), Ann Emagene (c1843).
