Hello List, Here's a long shot. I've traced BAWDENs in Camborne Parish, Cornwall, England; they were miners. And I do have a John BAWDEN b. 1830, and a Joseph Retallack BAWDEN b. 1837--could these be the two listed in the Amador Dispatch, listed below? If it's a help, I can give more information (a little) on the family in Cornwall. Cheers!
