  • Notes 
    • His death record at Bristol: "WORDALL Uzal, 93y., Oct. 25, 1732"

      The will of Uzal Wardwell, administered 7 Dec 1732 at Bristol, RI, mentions his wife Grace and five sons: Joseph, Uzal, James, William, & Benjamin. No daughters are mentioned, although it is known that he had daughters.

      I am not sure which of his children were born of his second wife, although I am fairly sure that Sarah was Grace's daughter because she and her husband are named as executors in Grace's will. Also, I have found James in the Bristol birth records, as a son of Uzal & Grace.

      The surname is spelled variously as Wardwell, Wordwell, Wordall, Wordell, & Wardel.

      Uzal came from Ipswich, MA, and settled in Bristol, RI, where it is said he was an innkeeper.
