Notes for: Adam Dickerson Bodine, Sr.

There is an Adam Bodine who enlisted for the Union in Ohio on August 20, 1862. He was a private and 44 years old. Frances Kay Bodine said that her great-grandfather did serve with the Union Army. There is an Adam D. Bodine listed in the Civil War Pension Index for Ohio at Ancestry.com. His widow was a Sarah J. Bodine.

There is an Adam Bodine in the 1880 Census of Jefferson, Coshocton Co., OH who must be this Adam. His occupation is listed as "painting." He is 59 and born in NY. Both his parents were born in NY, too. His wife, Sarah, is 60 and born in PA. Her parents birth places are not transcribed. No children are shown.

I think their marriage record may say Adam Borline and Sarah Frymie.

Hi Dave,

I attached a PDF of census images for Adam Bodine. If it is too big or if you prefer a transcription, just let me know.

An index of the census images that I have for Adam Bodine, follows. For the 1860 Census, I am not certain if it is the correct one. The images are from Heritage Quest Online.

When I went to the Lucas County Genealogical Society in Chariton, there were 2 obituaries indexed for Mary Bodine; the one I found is brief. I didn't get a copy of it, so the words in the parenthesis are the words that were probably missing from my notes.

THE CHARITON PATRIOT, WEDNESDAY, 18 MAR 1885

Died in her home in Benton township, Friday, March 13, 1885, Mrs. Mary E. Neptune (was the) wife of Samuel Neptune (and left a) babe, 1 week old.

Adam Bodine and Samuel Neptune apparently both served in the 122nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Company D, during the Civil War and were captured, see website:

I also have censuses for John Blake Bodine, 1830, 1840 & 1850 and Ann (Dickerson) Bodine for 1860, 1870 and 1880.

From Ronny Bodine:

By 1843, Adam Bodine was living in Newcomerstown, Tuscarawas County, Ohio and in 1850 was engaged there as a wagonmaker. In 1860-1870, he lived in Washington Township, Coshocton County, appearing in 1860 as Adam Brodwick with his wife Sarah and his children under the name Bollins, though there is no doubt of their true identity and again Adam continued his work as a wagonmaker. Adam Bodine served during the Civil War as a Private with Company D, 122nd Ohio Infantry Regiment from 20 Aug 1862 until he was captured 15 June 1863 at the Battle of Winchester in Virginia and was transferred 15 April 1864 to Company F, U.S. Veteran Reserve Corps, 18th Infantry Regiment and was mustered out on 27 June 1865 in Washington, D.C. In 1870, he was there as Adam Bodine, wagon maker, with his wife and 4 children. In 1880, he and Sarah lived alone in Jefferson Township, Coshocton County, Ohio where he was now employed as a painter. He was buried in Jefferson Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Warsaw, Coshocton County.
