Notes for: Mary Ann Bodine

There is a Mary Corbin in her father's household in the 1860 Census of Oakland County, Michigan. That Mary was 31 years old and born in New Jersey. I wonder if it wasn't this Mary. There was also a John B. Corbin (age 2, MI) and a Martha Devoes (age 4, NJ). William Bodine (her father) is later in the household of a Mary DeRose in the 1880 Census of Princeton, Bureau Co., IL. William is listed as the father-in-law. Mary is 47 and born in NJ. Robert is 55 and born in NJ. There are four children ages 30 to 6. I wonder if Mary wasn't Robert DeRose's second wife.

I later got this message:

DAVE,

John DeVore was Mary Ann's first husband. He died 20 sept 1855. Martha DeVore was born in 1856 after he had passed. They had 5 children including my Great Grandfather Ralph A. DeVore born 9 july 1851. Louisa 1850, Margaret 1853-1863 (I have seen her grave by John's in NJ), Anna 1855.

Her second husband was John Corbin, who I think died during the civil war???? They had John b. born 1858. I could find nothing about him.

Her third husband was Robert DeRose. She had 2 children with Robert and died 4 jan 1900. The children were George 1873 and Carrie 1866.

It has been hard for me to find any info on Mary Bodine as my Grandfather Ralph E. never really new her as she had married out of the family long before he was born in 1892.
