The log house was torn down abt 1778 and the frame house erected, which is now owned by his great-grandson Walter W. Bardwell. He was widely known as "Capt.

After the close of the Revo- lutionary war we find him prominent in Shay's rebellion, being put in jail at Nthn with two other former officers in the army and held as hostages for the capture of one Elder Ely, who had been an active fomentor of resistance to the government. They were liberated from the jail by a ruse practised by three men who had been their comrades in the Revolutionary army who demanded their liberty or threatened to batter down the prison. The jailer complied and let them go. Lieut. Bardwell re- mained at Wh and vicinity until he rem to Phelps, Wayne county, New York.
