Notes for: May Bodine
From Ronny Bodine:
May Bodine is first evident in 1870 when she appears as a 3-year old living with Russell and Esther Bodine and their daughter Elizabeth. In 1880, she is called the granddaughter of Esther Bodine. As Jacob and Esther had only one child, Elizabeth, it seems clear that May was Elizabeth's daughter.
