After leaving Fairfax Co., VA, James Bodine came to Tennessee
where he was residing in 1804 when his son James was born there
in Jackson Co. He subsequently located in McMinn Co., where he
appears in court records 1824-26 and where, about 1826, he received
an occupant land grant with Phillip Osborne, described as the
N.E. Quarter of Section One, Fractional Twp., Range Two West.
Phillip Osborne resigned his half to Elihu Randolph on 19 July
1826 and James Bodine resigned his half to Jan Vansant on 2 Sep
1826. By 1830 James Bodine had removed to Jefferson Co., IL,
appearing there in the census of that year. The name of his 1st
wife, who was living at the time of the 1830 census, is not known.
She was the mother of perhaps five children (Jane, James, a son,
Andrew, Abigail). He married his 2nd wife, Sarah Twitty, the
widow of Mr. Mackey, on 19 Sep 1838 in Jefferson Co. James Bodine
died intestate, but Sarah left a will dated 28 Jan 1842, leaving
her estate to the children of her first marriage, to which consent
was given by her husband, James Bodine. On 12 Jan 1847 the Jefferson
Co. court directed an inventory be taken of the estate of Sarah

the Loudoun Co. court "Ordered that the overseers of the

instant to Robert McCalla to learn the trade of a Tanner according
to law. In May 1814, at Winchester, Frederick Co., VA, Henry
Bodine enlisted in Capt. Michael Coyle's Co., Col. Taylor's Regt.
of Virginia Militia. He appeared in the censuses of Loudoun Co.
from 1830 to 1850, but not thereafter. The 1850 census states
his age to be 67 and born in Virginia. On 20 Jan 1851, in Frederick
Co., VA, Henry Bodine, age 70 on the 14th of October last, a
resident of Waterford, Loudoun Co., filed for a pension. He filed
again on 26 May 1855 at Loudoun Co., then aged 76 years. His
pension request was rejected. He was married to Jane _____, who
died before 1850 and who was the mother of his daughter Alithea
(1807-1870) and perhaps, Mary Jane (born 1814).
6. Etha "Effie"
Berthella Bodine was b. ca 1782. She was married on 30 Sept 1797
in Montgomery Co., VA as "Effe Boaine" to John Burk.
William Longley was guardian of the bride. John Burk was b. 11

on 27 Sep 1854, now a resident of Catoosa Co., GA (which borders
Hamilton Co., TN) Mrs. Etha Burk, age "about 73" made
a statement on behalf of the heirs of Mary Longley that Mary

Children of James Bodine
and his 2nd wife, Sarah Russell:
7. Abigail Bodine, was
born 24 Sep 1803 "on the French Broad River in East Tennessee"
according to the biography of her son, James B. Snow, published
in Goodspeed's History of Tennessee, 1887, for the counties
including Obion, and was probably named after her paternal grandmother.
Although this biographical account fails to name her parents,
by mentioning her place of birth it virtually assures the identity
of her father as James Bodine. She died 17 June 1861 in Weakley
Co., TN having lived successively in Bedford, Madison, Henderson
and Weakley Cos. She was married 4 Feb 1819 in Bedford Co. to
Levi R. Snow. Levi was b. 25 Feb 1792 in NC; d. 31 May 1869 in
Kaufmann Co., TX, and buried there in Kaufman Cemetery.
