Hi Dave, Medina is in Orleans county in western New York. It is half way (When I was there, it was called a bedroom community, because everybody worked either in Rochester or Buffulo) between Buffalo and Rochester on the Erie Canal. Shelby is a town in Orleans County of which the village of Medina is half in the town of Shelby and half in the Town of Ridgeway. There is also a little hamlet called Shelby Center. This is about 2 to 3 miles south of the village of Medina. Oakfield, New York is about 12 miles southeast of Medina. Easton, PA is where Jennie Bodine DeWitt lived with her husband Ezra. Jennie was a sister to Catherine my great grandmother. The path seemed to go from Clinton in Hunterdon Co., NJ to Easton, PA to western New York where several other Bodines settled. Easton, PA isn't too far from Hunterdon Co., NJ. I think it's near the PA, NJ border.

From Ronny Bodine:

Portrait and Biographical Record of Hunterdon and Warren Counties, New Jersey, Chapman Pub. Co.: New York, 1898, p. 367-368.
Biography of John D. Cregar:
November 1, 1864, Mr. Cregar married Mary E. Bodine, daughter of Peter and Susan (LeFoy) Bodine. The father was born in Hunterdon County, and was a son of John Bodine, whose home was at Three Bridges. Peter Bodine was a farmer by occupation, and when Mrs. Cregar was born was living in Washington, Warren County, N. J., but soon returned here, settling in Union Township, where he bought a farm and spent the rest of his life. He was a member of the Baptist Church for a number of years prior to his death and was esteemed by all who knew him. His children were as follows: Elizabeth L,., wife of Holloway Van Sickle, of Holland Township; Daniel S., a business man of Stockton, N. J.; John T., deceased; Harriet C, who died in early womanhood; Hettie, who never married; Abraham L., deceased; Catherine, widow of Asa C. Hill, of Medina, N. Y.; Jane, widow of Ezra Dewitt, of Scranton, Pa. ; and Mary E. , Mrs. Cregar.
