"Silas Bardwell, who had served three years in the struggle for Independence, came to Wysox about 1790, settling on a strip of land adjoining that of John Hinman and extending to the river. He was a son of Lieutenant Perez Bardwell (also lived in Wysox a few years) and was born, 1764, at Hatfield, Mass. Soon after the war he removed with his father's family to Ontario county, N.Y., where he remained until coming to Wysox. He had married Lavina Abbott. In 1811 during an epidemic of smallpox he was stricken and died, and three days later his wife passed away of the same disease. They left eight children, six sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Solomon, enlisted in the War of 1812, served under Commodore Perry and was on his flagship at the time of his notable victory on Lake Erie. The next younger brother also served under Perry. Daniel Abbott, born October 17, 1799, settled in Tunkhannock, where he died August 24, 1883. Lydia, born May 26, 1801, married, March 12, 1823, Seth Doane of Windham. Silas, born 1807, removed to other parts. Samuel, born 1809, married Betsy, daughter of William Elliott of Rome. The other children settled in the West. Upon the death of their parents the house and whatever it contained, including the children's clothing, were destroyed as a safe-guard against contagion. The patriot father and wife were buried on the place a few rods from their home
