    Richard Bodkin, Sr. was born approximately 1710 in Virginia. Some say there is a possibility that he was born in Ireland, however, others are of the opinion that he was a descendant of this line's actual immigrant and could be the son or grandson of one of the men who came to America in either 1653 or 1679. The first actual mention of him was in 1743, when he was patented 339 acres on Clover Creek, Augusta County, Virginia. This became the family homestead for 19 years, until May 17, 1762 when either he or his son, Richard, sold the homestead and moved higher up the valley. Richard was married to Elizabeth, last name unknown. Morton's History of Highland County Virginia states the Richard moved to Highland County with sons nearly full grown. Most of the following information was obtained from three sources: Morton's" History of Highland County Virginia", his "History of Pendleton County West Virginia" and Lyman Chalkey's "Chronicals of Scotch-Irish Settlement 1745-1800". Richard was a constable on the Cowpasture in Augusta County, which indicates that he could both read and write. His name was found on several petitions for roads in Augusta County. He was also listed as a private on the August 11,1756 muster roll of Captain George Wilson's company of Virginia militia. Richard was found listed in the 1756 and 1765 parish vestry books of Augusta County.
    After he sold the family homestead in 1762, there were three land conveyances to Richard in 1763, 1765 and 1768, however one can not be sure whether this was Richard, Sr. or Richard, Jr.
