It now has a population of ten or twelve thousand. The principal portion of the early inhabitants came from Eng- land and Massachusetts and a few from Hartford, Ct.

1 BARDWELL, ROBERT, came from London, Eng., 1670, and was then said to be twenty-three years of age. He was by trade a hatter, learning his trade in London and was there at the time of the great plague in 1665 when more than one hundred thousand people were its victims, also at the time of the great fire that swept off thirteen thousand, two hundred houses and shops and ninety churches. After his arrival here we find him actively engaged in the defense of the town, this being his first knowledge of Indian warfare. He was raised to the dignity of a sergeant and was in command of one or two forts in the east- ern part of the state. We first learn of his being in the Connec- ticut Valley when he was sent with dispatches to the troops gathered for the defense of our frontier settlements with orders that if snow fell before he returned to stay through the winter, so his journey must have been late in the fall of 1675, as he re- mained at Hat. This was at the time when King Philip was on the war path and he came on foot and alone through the forest. He was among the foremost to march to the attack upon Philip's men at what we now know as Turners Falls, 18 May, 1676, being active in that gallant fight. In all the hard engagements inwhich he fought he came off without a serious wound. At this time he made up his mind to remain at Hat. He was then twenty-nine years of age, and he m 29 Nov., 1676, Mary, dau of William and Elizabeth (Smith) Gull and widow of Nathaniel Foote, date of her birth not given. He received his share in the division of the lands in Hat. He d 9 Jan., 1726, ae 79 yrs ; Mrs. Bardwell d 12 Nov., 1726. Eleven ch :
