Conflict: Birth Place Ohio or New York
William Bacon was a resident of Mahaska County, Iowa for over twenty-two years.
Notwithstanding his advanced age, he worked upon his little tract of land and
enjoyed excellent health to within a few days of his death. Born in the city
of New York in 1795 he was the son of John Bacon who was born in England in
1763, twelve years before the American Revolution and who emigrated to America
in 1794/95. John afterwards removed to Washington County, Ohio where he lived
for fifty years and died and was buried upon the farm on which he first
settled.William was twice married, his first wife dying at the age of thirty-three
years and the last as long ago as 1845/46. William spent the first ten years
of his boyhood in New York (we can neither affirm or deny this: EBV)William was a firm believer in the doctrine of the Universalist faith. Few
men were of a more peaceable or kindly nature and he sank to repose without an
unkind thought of any toward him and was laid away to rest by gentle hands and
loving hearts, with whom his memory will never loose its freshness or fade or
wither away.

Other than Judith, who is stated in Hinshaw, Vol VI, Virginia, to be Martha’s daughter, I am only guessing that the others are in this same family with Mary. Hinshaw states that Martha and Mary were married the same day, 1734/35, 11, 5 to their respective husbands. A note says that the Minutes show Mary and David were married between 1734, 10, 7 and 1745?/35, 11, 5. He married Martha (______), married abt 1713
