Notes for: Wiley Berdine / Bodine

From Ronny Bodine:

Their marriage in 1825 was recorded as Wiley Bodine and Nancy Rutchledge. On 26 July 1828, Wiley Berdine was bondsman to the marriage of James Smith and Gilley Stewart. There is no subsequent record of Wiley Bodine and it may well be that he died soon after his marriage and before the 1830 census. Wilson County Chancery Court Records of 9 July 1859, with regard to the distribution of the estate of John Bodine, deceased, record: "It appears that Wiley Bodine died leaving no children..." and as he was entitled to a distributive share of the estate of John Bodine, it would go to his brothers and sisters.
