    Notes 
    • Colleen(Smith),
      I am sending you another copy of my earlier e-mail. I did get all
      your other e-mails and am still reading them. Thanks for the great
      information.
      I have found Ezekiel Bardwell's baptismal record.
      One of the e-mails you sent identified
      identified a Solomon Budwell in Arkansas Territory in 1803. So I went
      to the library this morning and found a books entitled "A Baptismal
      Record of the Parishes Along the Arkansas River, August 5, 1796 to
      July 16, 1802." I found the following entry (this is the only entry I
      found for any Bardwell/Bodwell/Budwell entry):
      " Ezechiel Juan Bodwell. The 14th day of July of this year of 1802,
      I Friar Juan Brady, balded Carmelite monk and priest of the parish of
      Our Lady of Carmen in the beginnings of the Red and Ouachita Rivers,
      finding myself in this district of Arkansas by commission of Mr.
      Thomas Hassett, Vicar General of Louisiana, baptised and anointed with
      the holy oils a child that was born the 15th day of October of the
      year of 1791, the legitimate son of Solomon Bodwell and of Jisseu (?)
      Cohon. The paternal grandparents are Deres Bodwell and Tabitha
      Dicheson, natives of Massachusetts; the maternal Ezechiel Cohon and
      Crese Neil, natives of North Carolina. On that child I performed the
      sacred ceremonies and prayers and I put for a name Ezechiel Juan. His
      godparents wre Juan Hutson and Catalina Kemble, to whom I advised of
      the spiritual kinship, and so that it might be certain I signed it.
      Friar Juan Brady."
      This is a translation from the original Spanish. I have researched
      both my sister-in-laws families which include Louisiana French and
      Spanish ancestors and I find that Spanish priest both French names and
      French priests botch Spanish names. Therefore, I can only imagine
      what a Spanish priest (despite the Irish surname) would do to English
      names. You provided me with information regarding a son Solomon had
      whose name is given variously as Pierce, Peres, Percy, etc. Therefore
      from this the grandfather of Ezekiel is probably Peres Bardwell.
      Also, I checked North Carolina records and the only name close to
      Ezechiel Cohon is a Ezekiel Cahoon who appears in a 1784 tax list of
      Tyrrell County, North Carolina. There are lots of Cahoons/Cohoons as
      wells as Neals in this county as well as in Jones, Onslow, and Bladen
      Counties. I checked the DAR index for Peres Bardwell and found one I
      believe you are is familiar with:
      Peres Bardwell b 1737 MA d 1812 NY m. Tabitha Hastings Lt MA
      The IGI states that a Peres Bardwell was born 1737, Franklin, Whatley,
      Mass, son of Ebenezer and Elizabeth Gillete Bardwell.
      To summarize:
      Ezekiel John Bardwell b. October 15, 1791
      Father: Solomon Bardwell
      Mother: Jessie (?) Cohoon/Cohon/Cahoon (?)
      Grandfather: Peres Bardwell
      Grandmother: Tabitha Dickensen (?)
      Grandfather: Ezekiel Cohoon/ Cohon/Cahoon (?)
      Grandmother: Crese Neal
      I will go for now, but I must add one caveat. My eyes in an awful
      condition. My left eye has never been 20/20 even with contacts and
      after laser surgery a blood vessel in my left eye has been leaking.
      Its all fixable. However, the point of this heart rendering tale of
      woe is that I am ten time more likely now than before to get letters
      or numbers mixed up. Therfore, do not take any number or spelling as
      Gospel. I can mail you a copy of all these records if you provide me
      with your mailing address.
      Thanks.
      John(Caskey)
