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.

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 a Solomon Budwell in Arkansas Territory in 1803. So I went to the library this morning and found a book 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 sisters-in-law 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 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. It's 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. Therefore, 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.
