Bodin. Bodyn. Bodeyn. Bodain.

Received as a member of the Church of Leiden. Isaac Baudin and his wife, Margaret H..., from Armentieres, France. Armentieres is just a few miles northwest of Lille.

Received as a member of the Church of Leiden. From Armentiere.

Update: From the original in Leiden, I also found out that the witnesses for Abraham were Bouderoyn or Boudewijn Golaersn/Holaert and Jan Libaer, his friends. Maycken's witnesses were Willemtgen Jans and Griete Verelst, her friends (B, 159v). The date of September 6 above must be when the marriage ban was first published.

Baptized at Middelburg, son of, and of

Received as a member at the Church at Leiden, Piere Bodin young man

Married at Leiden. Records 9 and 10 appear to be the same, except that one is in French and the other in Dutch. I think this family is also referred to in record 103. And there is more about this couple in the Archive Room under the section called "The Netherlands / Holland."

Received as a member of the Church of Amsterdam, widow of Louis, by witness of the church of Sedan. I'm guessing that "Seyde" is Sedan. Sedan is not too far southeast of Lille and was a former Protestant stronghold in France. The Duke of Sedan offered protection to Protestants fleeing persecution.

Roeloffeson is a name related to the Bodines in America.

I think this means that he was received as a member at Pentecost supper.

Received as a member, Pierre Baudin and his wife, by witness of the Church of Hanauw.

Baptized in the old (?) church at Amsterdam on, father, mother, child.
Update: Boudewijn Wegner told me that Uemiik is neither a Dutch name nor a French name. It must be something else (or my spelling was way off).

Elected deacon of the Church of Leiden

I believe the librarian told me that Middleburg was the first Protestant Church formed for Huguenot refugees from France. It's on an island or isthmus in the North Sea.
Update: Boudewijn Wegner told me that Middelburg is the provincial capital of the province of Zeeland. He also believes that the first Protestant Church for Huguenot refugees from France was indeed formed there.

Update: Boudewijn Wegner told me that "Achterb burg wal geass mes Aelhie Coppen" has to be "Achterburgwal, geass(issteerd) met Aeltie Coppen." The Achterburgwal was where she lived. Aeltie Coppens was the person who assisted her, but it is not mentioned if they were related. The word Grace undoubtedly has to be Grave. And "Arypwerleen Walenpad x (?)" must be "Antwerpen, Walenpad." This would mean that he came from Grave, Antwerpen. In any case, at the time of his wedding he was living at the Walenpad in Amsterdam (coincidentally Walen means Wallonian). The entire text would then be:
.....Kerkenteekenregister te Amsterdam den 15 Dec 1625:
Bodeyn, Jean, geb[oren] Grave, wed[uwnaar] Marry le Pagie,
[van] Antwerpen, [wonende] Walenpad
& Van der Hyde, Magdalena, geb[oren] Wezel, 30 j[aar],
[wonende] Achterburgwal, geass[isteerd] met Aelhie Coppen.
.....Translated: ‘Church registry Amsterdam, December 15th 1625:
Bodeyn, Jean, born Grave, widower of Marry le Pagie,
[from] Antwerp, [living at the] Walenpad
& Van der Hyde, Magdalena, born Wezel [Germany], 30 years old,
[living at the] Achterburgwal, assisted by Aelhie Coppen’.

This could mean that Maertje and Ferdinandus were going to marry. A marriage was always announced in church three weeks before the actual date of marriage. This announcement is known as "aantekenen." The last line means "Look at the file of Ferdinand Nieuwerkeneke."
Update: Boudewijn Wegner told me that "San Laurens" has to be "Sint Laurens." And "Nieuwerkeneke ferdinandus" is probably "Nieuwerkerke, Ferdinandus."

This is an interesting entry. Baptised at Leiden in the Hooglandsche Church on Feb 13, 1661: Janet Bodine, father Jan Jansen, mother not mentioned. See notes for record 82.

Update: D.E. Boekee checked the original record and sent the following: Hooglandsche Kerk; 13 Feb 1661; child: Jannitje; father: Jan Jansz [son of Jan] Bodijn; mother: not mentioned; sponsors: Joris Pietersz, Philips Mereuw, Jannitje Jans, Susanna Isaacx.

D.E. also thinks it likely that Janet's mother was Mary Poure/Pouvre. He bases this on a marriage record between a Johannes Jansz Bodeijn, born Leiden, and Marij Poere, born Valenchijn (Valenciennes in France). This marriage took place on May 6, 1660 in the Walloon Church. The bride was sponsored by Jenne Dutry, her mother. This is just a guess, however.

Jenne Dutry also had married a Jean Boudeijn, widower of Cathalijne le Rou, on June 27, 1657 in the Walloon Church. "Jenne Deutery" as her name was written in the marriage record, was the widow of Valenthijn Pouvre.

I guess it is possible that Mary died before Janets' baptism or else she was just not mentioned. If she had died, then maybe the Sara Stof mentioned in record #82 below could be the second wife of this Jan Bodijn. Again, these are only wild guesses.

Or it's possible that Sara Stof of record #82 is the missing mother here. There is no evidence, however, that the Jan Bodijn's of records #80 and #82 are the same person.

This is another interesting entry. Baptised at Leiden in the Hooglandsche Church on May 7, 1662: Sarah Bodine, father John, mother Sarah Stof. I think this Jan may be the same as the Jan Jansen in record 80, but that is only a wild guess. John Bodine of Bethune supposedly named his first son John and his first daughter Sarah. Following Dutch naming customs, his parents would probably be named John and Sarah. And John Bodine was also born about 1662. This would put him in the right time frame with this John and Sarah's children. Sara Stof would appear to be the daughter of a Christoffel since Stof does not otherwise appear in the records.

D.E. Boekee checked the original record in the Leiden Municipal Archives and sent this: Hooglandsche Kerk; 7 may 1662; child: Sara; father: Jan Bodijn; mother: Sara Stof; sponsors: Pieter de Vos, Sara Simons, Anna Robertsdr [daughter of Robert].

See record #80 for some speculation on this record.

The woman at the library said that this means Jean is the son (fils) of Elie and it was probably Elie who was a school teacher (and not Jean). Elisabeth was the widow of Martin.

All this seems to be information related to Anne and nothing to do with her enterrement. She is the widow of Pierre who was a wool comber in Sedan.

Married in the Hague in the Big Church on April 17, 1667.
Coenraad Bodyn young man (meaning never married)
Helena Prind young woman (meaning never married)
Both living here

Here is another interesting family. Peter Bodine and his wife Janet Williamsdaughter have several children baptised between now and 1674. All of these children have names that are common among the Bethune Bodines in America: Elizabeth 1668; Ann 1670; Sarah 1672; and Peter 1674. This family suddenly appears in the records of the Peters (and later Hooglandsche) Church in Leiden here in 1668 and  then seems to suddenly disappear after 1674. Maybe they sailed to America. And maybe they had other children born before 1668. But this is just speculation. See records 95, 98, and 99.

Became Burger at Amsterdam on March 9, 1672 (A "burger" was a "civilian" meaning he had the right to vote, but he also had to pay taxes. Being a 'civilian' was a privilege not automatically granted to everyone living in a city.)

Coming from Leiden

The estate of Maria Cousijn, widow of Pieter Bodine is bequeathed to the Orphanage at Leiden. There is more on this couple in the Archive Room under "The Netherlands / Holland." Note: A John Bodine married a Lemme Cozyn in 1780 in New Jersey.

Buried at Amsterdam on February 21, 1676 in the Old church

Married (widower) ----
Domicile Haarlemmerdijcke

Coenraad Bodyn widower living here
(and) Geerstrinsa (Christina) Deckers young woman from Utrecht
living there
Update: Boudewijn Wegner told me that andhr is not a Dutch word. The "Groote Kerk" is the "Large Church." It is a common name for churches. And "Geestrinsa Deckers [f/j].d. van Utrecht" has to be ‘Geertruida Deckers, j.d. van Utrecht."
