John Bodkin (c. 1720 – 1742), Esquire. Born the second son of Counsellor-at-law, John Bodkin and Mary Clarke of (Carrowbeg House ), Belclare, (Tuam ), County Galway, Ireland.〔Richard Pue, "Country News Tuam, 9 October 1741," ''Pue’s Occurrences'', 10-13 Oct 1741, microfilm 53, Trinity College Library, Dublin; Ms 32484, Land holding, National Library of Ireland; Richard Pue, "Country News Galway, 19 March 1742," ''Pue’s Occurrences'', 16-20 Mar 1741-42, microfilm 53, Trinity College Library, Dublin.〕 In 1741, John Bodkin, the second son of a landed gentry family in Co Galway, Ireland was arrested on the charge of murdering his older brother, Dominick. He was found guilty of the crime even though he refused to admit his guilt during his trial or thereafter. He was hanged, drawn and quartered in Galway City on Saturday, 20 March 1742. ==Background== In 1739, John’s older brother, Dominick, heir to the family estate, died. Lord Athenry, the local Justice of the Peace deemed his death as a natural event.〔Oliver J Burke, ''Anecdotes of the Connaught Circuit''…, Dublin, 1885, p 86-92.〕 The suggestion that he was murdered only came to light in the aftermath of the Bodkin murders in 1741. In this inheritance-motivated family feud, three members of the Bodkin family, Oliver Bodkin, Oliver’s pregnant wife, Margery, his son, Oliver, a visitor, Marcus Lynch of Galway and from four to seven unnamed servants were murdered.〔Richard Pue, "Country News Tuam, 9 October 1741," ''Pue’s Occurrences'', Trinity College Library, Dublin; Oliver J Burke, ''Anecdotes of the Connaught Circuit…'', Dublin, 1885, p 86-92; Ms 32484, Land holding, National Library of Ireland.

On hearing the charge, John Bodkin absconded but was arrested shortly afterwards and charged with fratricide.
