On 26 Aug 1862, he was commissioned Second Lieutenant and raised a company of troops, designated Company B, 14th Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers and participated in all of the engagements until 1 March 1864 when he resigned to assume a position in the Provost Marshal's Office. He remained there as Deputy Marshal of the Second Congressional District to the end of the war. See the Trenton "Times" of 30 May 1891. After the war Budd Bodine was engaged as a papermaker and express agent. His wife, Amy, was the daughter of Thomas and Rachel Mott, who were living with the family in 1870.
