Hi Donna,
Was reading the post earlier tonight, looking to see if anyone knew of a Abraham Bodine b. 03 May 1817 (census varies bet. PA & NJ) & d. 03 November 1871 in Allegan, Mich. He m. Sarah ??. b. 14 Aug 1828 in England; (d) 13 Feb 1902 in Allegan. They lived in Lenawee Cty, MI, and later moved to Allegan. His death record gives his parents as Abraham & Sarah Bodine (?? seems weird his parents names same as theirs). Children of Abraham & Sarah: (1) Mary Jane b. 25 Mar 1849 in MI; (d) 04 Aug 1851 (2) Ellen F. b. 23 Mar 1853, MI (d) 03 Jun 1875 in Cheshire, Allegan Cty, MI (gg-grandmother) m. Robert Eugene Smith (she died giving birth to their 2nd child) (3) Alice b. 21 Mar 1855; (d) 17 Dec 1883 (4) Andrew J. b. 17 Sep 1856 (d) 24 Feb 1944; m. Mary Ann Hayes (5) George Henry b. 17 Feb 1861; (d) 03 Apr 1895 (6) William I. b. 18 Jan 1864 (d) May 1947 in Montana (before his death, no one had heard from him in 35 yrs) (6) John Bodine b. 25 Aug 1865.
Anyways the reason I'm writing is I came across a copy of obit in Cassopolis Vigilant (sorry didn't record date-plus a bad copy on microfilm - will do best to make it out)
ELIZABETH G. BONINE - wife of Isaac Bonine, Jr., died after a patient and long suffering illness at her husband's residence on Young's Prairie, Oct. 26th, 1878 (looks like a 5 but rest are all 8's), aged 44 years. Her father, Amos Green, came to Cass County, in 1831, and settled on the east side of Young's Prairie, where he died August 6th, 1854. She was one of a family of fifteen children, all of whom grew to man and womanhood except three. She was born in 1834 within sight of the place of her death; was an active member of the Quaker of Friend's church, and one of the founders of the Ladie's Home Missionary Society of Young's Prairie, as well as an earnest worker in temperance and other noble enterprises, to all which she freely lent a helping hand; until failing strength caused abandonment of all work.
Don't know if this fits in with your BONINE you were looking for, but just in case I had to send this to you. If either of you come across where you may think that Abraham Bodine fits into your Bodine's...please email me. Thanks!!! Hope this is a lead for you.
