Notes for: John (Jan) Bodine
Sinnott says he died young, but she made the mistake of thinking this John's sibling, Jaentien, was a boy and also named John. However, Jaentien was actually a girl's name. So it is possible this John Bodine survived and had a family.
Ronny Bodine said that it was impossible to tell if this John Bodine was married from the inventory of his estate, but it is quite possible he wasn't since his brother was the administrator of his estate (John having died with no will) and there was no indication that his wife gave up her right to administer the estate. We are assuming that all the court records below apply to this Joihn Bodine.
