Sources: (1) Dutch Reformed Church of New Paltz, Ulster County, Baptisms. In all instances, Isaac Bodine and Rachel DuBois were named as parents. There were no recorded sponsors: Peter, born 29 Sept. 1795; Maria, born 14 Oct 1796; Hiram, born 16 Feb 1799; Anne, born 27 April 1801; Ira, born 23 Sept. 1803; Isack, born 12 Dec 1806; John, born 7 Sept. 1809. (2) Mordaunt Harold Bodine, Sr. family Bible (NYGBR v. 108, 1977, p. 194) - date. (3) Tombstone in Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NY - dates of Sept. 7, 1803 to April 2, 1887 as recorded by researchers from the Underhill Society. I believe the year is actually 1808 or 1809 based on the census info; so the researchers may have misread the birth year. (4) Death Notice, New York Herald of 5 April 1887. BODINE--On Saturday, April 2, John Bodine, in the 78th year of his age. If he was 78 at the time of his death, that would mean he was born about 1809. (5) 1880 Census, New York City (Manhattan), NY - age 70, NJ, NY, NY, retired grocer. 1880 Census (New York City) for his son Mordaunt lists both parents as born in NY. 1900 Census (Bronx, NY) for his son Mordaunt, lists both parents as born in NY.

A Benjamin web site has her birth date as Jan. 26, 1799 at Canaan. No source is given, but the site seems well researched. (11) Death Notice, New York Herald of 9 May 1879 - date and place.
