Joseph Bode, wife, and child John Kraft Bode supposedly arrived in Phil, Pa. in 1802 from Germany.Family tradition has it that Joseph was related to astronomer, Johann Bode.The family is said to come from southern Germany, possiblyFrankfort-on-the-Main.His family grew to include; Katherine, Louisa, Jacob, Mary and Elizabeth, (who were twins), Joseph and another son unknown.. About 1816this family migrated to Wayne Co. NE Pa. to establish glass making with other Germanfamilies.Is anyone working on this family?I have a good chunk of data from here on and need some data on Elias P. Stiles who married into the family through Helen Euphemia Bode,b. 12-1-1832, dau. of Joseph. m. 7-3-1851.One child, Joseph Wm. b.11-20-1853.
