He was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts in 1799, the son of politician Barnabas Bidwell. His family settled in Bath in Upper Canada before the War of 1812. He studied with a law firm in Kingston and was called to the Ontario Bar in 1821. When his father was unseated in 1821 based on allegations of misappropriation of funds in Massachusetts, Bidwell presented himself as a candidate but was declared ineligible. In the April 1823 Lennox and Addington by-election, Bidwell ran against George Ham of Bath where Ham won by 13 votes. Canadian political careerIn 1824, Bidwell was allowed to run for office and was elected to the 9th Parliament of Upper Canada representing Lennox & Addington. He held the seat until 1836. In 1828, he helped introduce a bill which made it easier for American-born residents to become citizens. He also lobbied for responsible government within the province.[1] In 1828, he was elected speaker for the assembly. Although he did not take part in the Upper Canada Rebellion, his name appeared on a banner carried by the rebels and he was forced to leave the province in December 1837. Some sources believe that Lieutenant Governor Sir Francis Bond Head forced Bidwell out of the province, because Head's refusal to appoint Bidwell as a judge in the province was a factor in his dismissal by the British Colonial Office. Return to the United StatesBidwell returned to the United States, settling in New York City. He was admitted to the New York bar and in 1838 became a partner in the law firm of George Washington Strong, which would later become Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft. He died in New York City in 1872. Footnotes1. ^{{Citation | last= De Lancey|first= Edward Floyd| title = Marshall S.
