When the Buffalo Board of Trade was organized in 1845 Benjamin Bidwell was one of the original members. His death occurred December 21, 1862.

The mother of General Bidwell was quite a remarkable woman. Her name was Jane Harvey and she was born in Vermont August 1, 1791. She came to Black Rock in 1810 and she married Benjamin Bidwell July 25, 1811.

To stimulate Union sentiment in Buffalo during the Civil War Mrs. Jane Harvey Bidwell and thirty seven ladies of Buffalo who were resident in Black Rock or Buffalo during the War of 1812 presented on July 4, 1861 to ex-president Millard Fillmore as captain of the Union Continentals, a beautiful flag, the staff of which was composed of eighteen pieces of wood of various sorts native to America, typifying the eighteen states which constituted the Federal Union in 1812.
