Notes - Solomon Bardwell, Robert's father, was born c1763 in Massachutsetts. He was a son of Perez Bardwell and his wife, Tabitha, of Whatley, Massachusetts, and a descendant of Robert Bardwell who came to America in 1670. He served in the American Revolution from Massachusetts. During his life his surname is generally rendered as Bodwell or Budwell. As Solomon Bodwell he is found in the 1790 census of Tyrrell County, North Carolina. In 1798 or 1799, he was in the Spanish Province of Louisiana. By 1803, he was at Post Arkansas in the District of Arkansas in the Province of Louisiana. In 1808, he was claiming land on the St. Francis River in Arkansas portion of the Territory of Louisiana. By 1810, he was at the Wolf Creek settlement in what is now Pike County, Arkansas. By 1818, he was in Lawrence County, Mississippi. He died by December 1833 in Lawrence County, Mississippi, at which date an inventory was made of his estate. We know he married at least three times, possibly more. The first wife we know of is "Jiseu" Cahoon, daughter of Ezekiel Cahoon and "Crese" Neil of Tyrrell County, NC. ("Jiseu" and "Crese" are names given in the baptismal certificate of Ezekiel "Bodwell" which was written in Spainish in 1803. It appears the priest was trying to spell the names phoneticly, but I cannot tell what they are suppose to represent.) Solomon married prior to 1797 in Tyrrell County, North Carolina, Mary Poole Neal/Neel, daughter of John Poole and Dorcas Meekins and widow of William Neal/Neel. She may have died prior to his migration to Arkansas. In 1819, he married Sarah McLeod as stated previously.
