Notes for: Isaac Bodine
I wonder if this is not the Isaac Bodine who is listed in the 1880 Census of Newburgh, Orange Co., NY. He is 70 and born in New York. However, both his parents are listed as having been born in France. I wonder if that wasn't made up. His wife is a Catherine Bodine, age 62, born in New York. Both her parents were born in New York, too. Isaac and Catherine kept boarders. They may also be in the 1850 Census of Newburgh. His wife's name there is something like Tamer, but it is hard to read. It could be some form of Jane. She is either 31 or 51, probably 31. The kids are Elthea (or Esther)12, Sarah 10, Ann 8, Alford 5, David 7m. All were born in New York.
From Ronny Bodine:
From Records of the Dutch Reformed Church, Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City.
Isaac Bodine AND Catharine J. Mastin were married 12 Dec 1841.
In Aug 1850, Isaac and Catherine Bodine lived in Plattekill, Ulster County. The name was spelled Badine and both were specifically noted as born in Ulster County. In June 1870 and June 1880, Isaac and Catherine lived in Newburgh, Orange County where Isaac worked as a gardner in 1870 and operated a boarding house in 1880. Isaac and Catherine apparently had no children as none appear with them in the census records.
