Notes for: Mary Ann Bodine
Mary's birth date calculated from her age at death should be June 25, 1799, but her baptism date was October 18, 1798. It would seem there is a mistake somewhere, but I'll leave her birth date as June 25, 1798 for now. I would like to doublecheck this baptism date in Tobias Wright's book to make sure it is correct.
She is mentioned in her father's will. She may be the Mary Ann Martling who
was an executrix of the estate of a Vincent Bodine of Castleton, Staten Island
(Book 3, p. 167) dated April 18, 1836. It involved a dwelling and lot at
Castleton known as Bodine's Tavern, about five acres. Janet Britton wrote, "I
feel confident that Mary Ann Bodine Britton was never a Martling. The person
referred to may be Mary Ann Britton Martling, w/o Peter, d/o Abraham Britton
and Magdalana De Hart. She lived ca 1814-1861. I cannot determine which
Vincent Bodine this is."
Janet said that Mary Ann definitely died in 1861. She also has a note that
Mary was baptized October 18, 1798 in the Dutch church, and that she was born
June 25, 1798. Here is some more info from Janet:
Mary resided in 1850 in Castleton, Staten Island, Richmond, NY:
1850 Census, p. 24, 326/330
Mary A. Britton, 51, $2000, b. NY
Isabella, 15, b. NY
Eliza Jones, 26, b. NY
Peter Jones, 31, b. NY.
She resided in 1860 in Castleton, Staten Island, Richmond, NY:
1860 Census, p. 114, 763/817, Castleton
Mary A. Britton, wid 60, female, personal $1000, real estate $200, NY (ditto
below).
Jacob Decker, 40, male, St. Bt. Hand [some kind of boat hand?]
Isabella, 24
Franklin, 8
Oliver, 4.
She signed a will on Jun 10 1861 in Staten Island, Richmond, NY (Will/Probate
Record/Letters of Administration. Proved 11/25/1861).
She died on Oct 18 1861 in Castleton, Staten Island, Richmond, NY. This comes
from Vosburgh's Inscriptions, Staten Island Cemetery, (p. 1069?): Mary
Ann, Relict of Nathaniel Briton, Junior who died October 18, 1861; age 62
years, 3 months & 23 days; buried SI Cem., lot 129, Mary A. Britton Plot.
She has gone to rest with her Saviour
BRITTON, Mary Ann, 62y 3m 23d
d. 1861-10/18
From the New York Herald of 10/19/1861: Deaths: Britton, Mary Ann Mrs.
Her death was not found in Manhattan records on this date, although I suspect
she died in Staten Island. She was buried in SI Cemetery, SI, Richmond,
NY.103
She was married to Nathaniel (Nathan) Britton, Jr. (son of Nathaniel Britton,
Sr. and Elsey Van Buskirk) on October 24, 1815 in St. Andrew's Church, Staten
Island, Richmond, NY. Nathaniel (Nathan) Britton, Jr. was born in 1793. He
was buried in 1841 in St. Andrew's Church, Staten Island, Richmond, NY.105
whoops! this is wrong. who is this nathaniel buried in st. andrews????? He
died on Feb 13 1841 in Castleton, Staten Island, Richmond, NY. Vosburgh's
Inscriptions (p. 1068?) say that Nathaniel Briton, Jr. died on February 13,
1841, in the 49th year of his age. (BRITTON, Nathaniel, Jr., 49y, d.
1841-02/13, bur. SI Cem. Lot 129 Mary A Britton Plot).
This may be him:
1835 Census, Castleton: Nathaniel Britton, 4 males, 7 females, 1 voting male,
1 married female under 45, 1 unmarried female 16-45, 5 unmarried females under
16, 1 female married within past year, 1 female birth within past year, 9
cattle, 4 horses, 5 hogs.
If that's correct, then who is this?
1835 Census, Northfield, p. 8: Nathan Briton, 4 males, 4 females, 1 voting
male, 1 married female under 45, 1 unmarried female 16 - 45, 1 female under
16, 1 acre, 1 cow, 3 hogs.
Clute says of him: "He owned and resided on the property on the east side of
Broadway, West New Brighton, extending the whole length of that highway."
He may be the one who served in the War of 1812. Have ordered military records
from NYS.
