BARDWELL, Sam[ue]ll, s. Gideon and Hannah (Hawks), [born] June [sic] 18, 1757. PR2
[PR2=Bible record in possession of Mrs. Julia Farwell. Location presumed to be based on residence of Bible owner, not birth location. Without access to church records, or Bible, cannot assess whether January or June is correct. Frequent discrepancies between records and Bible suggest and unknown provenance of Bible (does it belong to parents, sibling, grandchild, etc.?) suggests Deerfield records most authoritative. Note: manuscript in NEHGS library Source:Bible Records of Greenfield, Massachusetts contains a transcript of Bible "in the possession of Baxter B. Noyes"which says 18 Jan 1757.]
