Notes 

Sources:
(1) Staten Island Church Records, by Tobias Wright. NYGBS, 1909, p. 90. 
(2) I believe he died in jail while waiting to be tried for bigamy. 
(3) Letters of Administration of Richmond Co., NY 1787-1865, p. 83, file #471, book 3:37, Aug. 8, 1844. Gives date as "about 
March 29, 1844." 
(4) Marriage Records of the Reformed Dutch Church on Staten Island, by Royden Woodward Vosburgh: RECORD 124 (1993): 232. 
(5) She was supposedly 16 when she got married in 1825 (b. about 1809). 1870 Census (b. about 1805). 1880 Census (b. about 
1809). 
(6) Records of the United Brethren Congregation (Commonly Called Moravian), Staten Island, NY: RECORD 38 [1907]: 257. 
(7) Staten Island Church Records, by Tobias Wright. NYGBS, 1909, p. 121 - This may say Oct. 4, 1826. 
(8) Staten Island Church Records, by Tobias Wright. NYGBS, 1909, p. 121 - This may say Oct. 8, 1827. 
(9) A record may say that William Bodine was bapt. 8 Aug 1827 at the home of his grandfather, James Bodine, Sr. (registers 
of the Moravian Church). This needs further checking. 
(10) I did have that he died in December 1894 at Sailors House, Snug Harbor, Staten Island, NY; however, Ronny Bodine has the 
date July 25, 1902 in Richmond Co., NY. His source is New York City Death Records:  William Bodine died 25 July 1902 in 
Richmond County aged 76 years. 
(11) Eliza was 15 when the murder trial of her mother began.
