Jacob John Bodine

In 1760, Jacob was supposedly living in Lebanon Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. He made a will or bill of sale on September 3, 1763, leaving some slaves to his son, Cornelius. This tattered piece of paper had his name written as J. Jacob Bodine. This is the only evidence that his first name may not actually have been Jacob, but possibly John. (This was found in some unpublished notes on John Bodine of Nelson County, by MBP, p. 2, in the Frankfort Historical Society's files. See also the short biography on James Morrison Bodine in the History of Kentucky and Kentuckians, v. 2, p. 1010.) However, if his children followed Dutch naming customs, which it appears they did, Jacob's first name is definitely "Jacob." All of his male children named their first sons "Jacob." This would follow the Dutch custom of naming the first male child according to the name of its paternal grandfather. According to information from undocumented sources, Jacob died in either Hunterdon County or Somerset, New Jersey. D. L. Durham says he died in Somerset.
