NOTES:
    1. John Bidwell cleared up a swamp of poison alders on the south side of his house and set fire to them with the wind from the north. After the fire got started the wind shifted to the south, he ran to his house shut it as close as he could, but the smell of slders posioned him so that he died about 24 hours after and his wife was so affected by the poison that she was a cripple the rest of her life.
    2. On 26 August 1750, John became Guardian of Stephen Bidwell (son of Zebulon and Mary Gilman Bidwell) Stephen was 20 years old at the time and very close to his Uncle.
