About us
The Bodine project was established so as to assist any participant in determining to which ancestral line he may belong. Any person who bears the name BODINE has a heritage that falls within one of four groups:
(1) Descendants of Jean (John) Bodin (Bodine) and his wife Maria Crocheron who married in 1680 in New York and lived on Staten Island. Jean Bodin was a native of near Bethune, in Artois, France. He and his wife had six children: Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Catherine, Abraham and Peter.
(2) Descendants of Jean (John) Bodin (Bodine) and his wife Esther Bridon, who lived on Staten Island by 1701. Jean Bodine was a native of Medis, Francis and as a Huguenot fled France for England in 1682. He and his wife had five children: Vincent, Francis, Eleazer, Jacob and Jane.
(3) Descendants of William Bodine who lived in Orange County, New York by the 1730s. There was a large concentration of Bodines in the mid-1700's and William is generally placed as the father of this group: Peter, Isaac, Lewis, Mary, William, Jane, Jacob, Esther, Susannah and Ann.
(4) Foreign born persons who assumed the name Bodine. There were dozens of immigrant families arriving in America from the mid-1800s into the 1940's who were natives of Germany, Italy, Russia, Sweden, and Syria, who, upon arriving in American adopted Bodine as their family name. Some already bore the name Bodin, Bodini or Bodino and others had names totally dissimiliar to Bodine, but were perhaps considered less foreign sounding.
