Subject: Re: Berdine/Bordine/Bodin Family
I have been working on my family tree on the Ancestry.com site & I'm stuck at the Nicholas & Cornelius link in my tree. I have gotten most of my information from research done for a lawsuit in September 1956 between a builder & Cornelius Bordine & c.,et als. over the Berdine's Corner area in North Brunswick. My father's mother was a Berdine & so he was summoned to testify at the hearing. Following is what I know from this information.
Cathaline Viola Berdine Johnson 1873 - 1946..........husband Leslie Phillip Johnson
William H.? Berdine, (her father) 1847 -1906............wife Margaret Sweeney
William Berdine (grandfather) 1822-1869.............wife Cathaline Applegate 1826-1914
Cornelius Bordine(Bodine) 17??-1840...................1st wife Johanna VanDerbilt ?-1815
....................................................................................................2nd wife and mother of Cornelius - Elizabeth (Betsy) Compton ?-?-
Nicholas Bordine(Bodine) 1746-1814.....................1st wife Dinah Van Lewe(Liew) 1750-?
....................................................................................................2nd wife & mother of Nicholas-Ann or Annabel Colcher or Hart 1743-1826
The rest I've taken from your wonderful web site & hope it's part of my family!!!
Jacob Bodine 1719-1748....................................................wife Catherine Bogart ?-?
Jacob Bodine 1684-1765....................................................wife Elizabeth Sebring 1677-1752
John Bodine 1662-1745.....................................................wife Mary Crocheron 1660-1703
Can you help me with any of my blank dates and wife names? It seems that Cornelius & Nicholas are such a stumbing block with so many family lines. However, I am quite sure "my" Cornelius & Nicholas are correct for my line but I'm unsure of wives & siblings.
Thank you for any help or information you can send me.

He had been ill with kidney trouble and later other developments made it necessary for him to undergo an operatlon on Friday, from which he failed to recover. Dr. Hoagland formerly of this city, assisted in the operation. Mr. Berdine formerly lived here, being in the livery business on Bayard street. He moved to Newark five years ago and later to Roseville. His wife and seven children, five daughters and two sons, survive him.
