Hello,
I found your web site with genealogy links for families connected to
St Joseph County. I believe I do have such a link, but I have yet to prove
the family tie to the Bodines of St Joseph County - I was hoping you might
possibly be able to refer this material to the attention of anyone who may
be researching this Bodine family line in the hopes that extra hands may be
able to prove this family tie. I have a family tree posted on
Ancestry.com
in case anyone might like to review my material for reference: The Bodines
of Fountain County, Indiana - owner: JanBodine51.
Peter Bodine born 1801 Berkeley, VA and died before 1860 (possibly before
1840?)
married Sept 5, 1822 in Warren County, OH
to Nancy Sinclair Gillespie born 1805 - a daughter of John and Sarah
McClellan-Gillespie
Nancy's brother, John Gillespie, married on Nov 28, 1830 in Warren
County, OH
to Mary "Polly" Elizabeth Bodine born 1799 Berkeley, VA and died 1863
Warren County, OH
Mary "Polly" Elizabeth was a sister to Peter Bodine - they were
children of John and Jane Marlatt-Bodine
In the 1830 Census for Franklin township, Warren County, Ohio Peter and
Nancy appear to have 3 boys under age 10.
In the 1850 Census for Franklin, Warren, OH, John and Mary "Polly"
Elizabeth Gillespie have two extra people in their household: James Bordine born
1829 OH and John Bordine born 1826 OH - these birth dates coincide with the
ages of the sons of Peter and Nancy.
This John Bordine born 1826 OH is most likely the John Bodine born 1826 OH
who married Anna Mariah Trowbridge, and moved into St Joseph County, IN.
They had the following children: Alice Maud born 1851, Peter born 1855,
Casius born 1859 and William born 1862. I believe his brother,
James, moved to the Cincinnatti, Ohio area.
I feel very confident that the James and John Bordine in Franklin, Warren,
OH were the surviving orphans of Peter and Nancy Sinclair
Gillespie-Bodine, and that they went to live with their Aunt and Uncle after the death of
their parents and one other brother. I have eliminated (to my satisfaction)
the other Bodine male siblings of Peter and Mary "Polly" Elizabeth as
potential fathers for this James and John - Peter Bodine is the most likely and
most plausible candidate as their father, but I lack something definitive
to link these two boys with Peter and Nancy. Perhaps a researcher from the
other side of this family connection might be able to find that missing
puzzle piece there in St Joseph County??? I welcome any inquiries and/or
suggestions - I would very much like to help restore this family linage. Thank
you for your time and attention.
Respectfully yours,
Janet Mackey-Bodine
