The Bodine Family Tree

October 20, 2018 By Marfy Goodspeed in Bodine Family, Families Tags: family trees

This is the family tree belonging to a branch of the Bodine family that lived in or near Delaware Township, Hunterdon County, NJ. The reason I specify that is because there are many earlier branches of the family living in other parts of Hunterdon County that I am not familiar with.

As is my practice, I will include the children of female Bodines, but not their grandchildren. I will make an exception to that rule if I have written about the grandchildren in one of my articles.

Howell House, part two

The old house on Worman Road has been something of a mystery house for many years. Who built the house and when? These are the classic questions asked when starting work on a house history. In this case, finding the answer took some digging.

Sine Family Tree

One of the early settlers in Amwell Township was Nicholas Sayn, who partnered with Johann Peter Sniter to purchase 1300 acres of the old Haddon Tract in 1748. The partners divided the property between them, and Nicholas settled down and raised a family and farmed his large property. But his son William did not wish to carry on the work, so Nicholas bequeathed his from to his nephew Honis.
