• John Bacon 1 black slave and 120 acres
• Isaac Baken 1 black slave and 296 acres - Isaac wife Abigail Barnes
• Jesse Baken 1 white male age 21-50
• Joseph Baken 1 white male age 21-50
• Thomas Baken 1 white male age 21-50



There was a CHARLES BACON on the list of early settlers in Washington Co., North Carolina...uncertain who this might be? He was in Wash. Co long before the Bacon brothers came to Tennessee




Located at Sulphur Springs Cemetery is a tombstone that shows Bacon genealogy for John, James & Polly Bacon ; a stone that has been there all my growing up years and this summer 2010 I finally located it ; a great fine. Not sure how accurate it is but it is a big help in figuring out the Bacon kin ; Dicy A Bacon Humphreys who had the stone inscribed was a descendant of Charles Bacon son of James & Magdalena. I would love to correspond with a descendant of John & Polly Brown Bacon and hear about the story that nicknamed "Daunt" Bacon ; she may be wrong about the two Isaacs sons of James & John ; however, these families seemed to be living near each other and I can see how their families may have gotten mixed up with all naming them the same names





ISAAC AND ABIGAIL BARNES BACON


ISAAC BACON born January 10, 1754, Maidencreek Township, Berks Co., Pennsylvania died July 1826 Washington Co., Jonesborough, TN SON OF JEREMIAH & FRONICA BACON

Isaac I have learned was married in Pennsylvania to unknown and may have had two sons ; John and Thomas Bacon ; I believe he married ABIGAIL BARNES in Tennessee? Deed Book 6, Page 161 shows 8/19/1797-Joseph Barnes sells land to Isaac Bacon - 100 acres for $300 Spanish milled dollars - landowners nearby: Morgan Murray, William Horner. Wit. John Melvin, Elizabeth Hunt, and Joseph Barron


May 7, 1831, Abigail Bacon, widow of Isaac deceased, and Charles W. and John B. Bacon, heirs of same, to Jacob Tailor, $10.50, 1-1/2 acres north fork Boons Creek, corner Henry Hale. Wit. Levi Bowers, Peter M. Reeves, Robert Duncan. Recorded on oath of witnesses Robert Duncan and Levi Bowers August 24, 1831




1830 Census for Washington County shows Mrs. Abigail Bacon with three sons at home between the ages of 20-30. Three sons at home in 1830 were Charles W, Jonathan and John


Children of Isaac & Abigail Barnes Bacon
• 1. Thomas Bacon born in Berks Co., Pennsylvania to unknown wife. He marries Julia (Hardeman) and they move to Texas taking with them Jonathan Bacon who was listed as "insane" (mentally incompetent) in 1850 who needed a guardian as mentioned in Isaac's will
• 2.
• Isaac E.W. Bacon Isaac E.W. Bacon II married Sarah Hunt August 24, 1819. Sarah was the daughter of Jesse Hunt and Elizabeth Shipley *According to the Bacon genealogy stone Isaac was the son of James & Magdalena sp. Motelena on the stone* ; however, the two Isaacs being cousins may have lived near each other and have been mixed up
• 3. Charles W. Bacon born after 1802 married Sarah McDonough in Illinois and had two sons John & Andrew both physicians ; Charles is buried in the Bean Cemetery in McDonough, IL
• 4. Joseph Barnes Bacon August 12, 1791 married Agnes Crouch and moved to McDonough Co., IL ; they had one known son Larkin Bacon and a grandson Dr. Joseph Barnes Bacon

• 7. Jonathan Bacon abt. 1802 never married and mentioned in Isaac's will with Thomas Bacon as his guardian ; he was in Texas living with stepbrother Thomas Bacon' family in 1850 ; Thomas deceased



A recent discovery with thanks to Linda BEAN Tidwell and the Bean Cemetery in McDonough Co., IL list the following:

• Charles W. died Sept. 18, 1838 age 34 ; Charles married Sarah McDonough December 1835 and two sons were born to them ; Andrew abt 1836 & John abt 1838 ; Charles dies and Sarah marries William Hughes and has two daughters Mary & Sarah (census 1850 IL shows William Hughes with Mary and Sarah Hughes, Andrew and John Bacon ; Sarah Bacon Hughes dies before 1850 ;1860 census shows Andrew Bacon a physician with a wife and daughter ; John is also listed in census records as a physician
• Abigail, mother of Nancy, Joseph & Charles W and wife of Isaac died December 28, 1840; age 74 yrs.
• Joseph B. son died Sept. 19, 1858; age 67y 1m 7d
• Agnes, consort of Joseph B.; d. May 21, 1847, age 53y

Charles W, John and mother Abigail Barnes Bacon all left Tennessee for the journey to McDonough, Illinois where Sister Nancy Bacon Hunt and brother Joseph Barnes Bacon were already living. Land records have been found showing that Charles Bacon bought up land in McDonough about 1834-1836 (John Bacon, physician, moves to Texas, marries and has three daughters)

	Beside Sinking Creek is where the Hubert Thomas Bacon house stood. Joan Murray great granddaughter of Jacob Bacon said that Jacob Bacon (son of Thomas & Sarah Barron Bacon) built the house that Hubert T. Bacon (son of Jacob & Mary Elizabeth Gresham Bacon) lived in later. Still do not know who the original land belonged to; Barron, Bacon or Murray or all three at different times? The two story log cabin is not far from the Jacob & Hubert T. Bacon house location		Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	Looking East toward Gray and Buffalo Ridge ; Henry Martin Walker bought land from Jonathan Bacon family 1870 (Deborah, son Joseph C, sister Sarah Bacon McIntosh) Jonathan was deceased ; I would like to know who the cabin in the barn belonged to? I suspect the log cabin was there when Henry M Walker bought the land. Henry & Amanda Jane may have lived there until they built the big house		Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
		An amazing construction of a real log cabin that has a barn built around it. I just discovered this cabin about a year ago. It is on the land where Howard Walker lived. Howard was the son of Elmer G Walker and grandson of Henry Martin and Amanda Jane Bacon Walker	Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
			Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	I truly think this cabin was on Old Thomas Murray Land ; later Barron land and it might have been the home of Thomas & Phoebe Barron as well as Jonathan & Deborah Barron Bacon. Henry Martin Walker buys the land from Deborah Bacon & her son & daughters		Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	Oh the fun I had climbing up to the second floor of the cabin and wondering whose children must have slept up here?		Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	a real wooden peg for the door ; my question is who built this log house? Was it Old Thomas Murray in the 1790's, Joseph Barron or perhaps Jonathan & Deborah Bacon Barron since they were the family that Henry Martin Walker bought the land from in 1870		Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	future generations have done some nailing		Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	Lyddian was the daughter of Jonathan and Deborah Barron Bacon. Their tombstone is at Boones Creek Christian Church Cemetery		Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	SARAH ANN BACON daughter of Thomas and Sarah Barron Bacon ; she married John Harrison (his second wife - no children) She lived on Douglass Chapel Rd near Aunt Vertie Martin Walker ; anyone know where this house was located? I really believe it was on the land where Aunt Vertie and Fred & Nellie Walker lived. Sarah Bacon Harrison signed a deed with John Thomas Bacon about taking care of her in her later life ; however, John Thomas died first so his heirs of Vertie, Fred, Nellie & Mary would have gotten the place. I love it!	SARAH ANN BACON was living with John Thomas and Alverta Martin Walker	Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	Thomas Bacon land and home was later the Range land. How did Thomas Bacon acquire this farm? Jonathan & Deborah Barron Bacon had to be living across the road ; was this originally Barron and Jobe land?	Located on the Elmer Walker Rd. Elmer Guy Walker was the son of Amanda Jane Bacon Walker & grandson of Thomas Bacon and Sarah Barron Bacon	Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	ELMER WALKER STORE across from the BACON HOME PLACE. Janelle Walker remembers going to Uncle Elmer's store in the 1950's for a soda pop or to get a loaf of bread for mother. Joanne Murray and Peggy Walker just might be there. Janelle always got Joanne and Peggy's hand-me-down textbooks	Elmer and his son Elmer Guy, Jr. operated a country store between 1940-1950's	Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
	Herbert Carter and Maynard Buren Walker were the sons of Henry Andrew and Mary Adelaide Hunt Walker	The great grandsons of Thomas and Sarah Barron Bacon	Janelle Morrow Walker Warden

	Dr Joseph Barnes Bacon was the son of Larkin Bacon and the grandson of Joseph & Agnes Crouch Bacon who moved to McDonough Co., IL and great grandson of Isaac & Abigail Barnes Bacon	Joseph Barnes Bacon was born in the village of Tennessee, McDonough Co, IL January 14, 1854. Parents were LARKIN CROUCH and HANOR (DURBIN) BACON. His father was a native of Tennessee, having been born at Jonesboro in that state in 1818. His mother was born in Louisville,KY., February 24, 1825. Larkin Crouch Bacon was a farmer by occupation, and a man of notable intelligence and admirable traits of character. On September 12, 1888, Dr. Bacon was united in marriage with ELIZABETH LISLE BAILEY, wo was born at Macomb, IL October 25, 1865. Two children: WILLIAM SUTHERLAND BACON, born February 23, 1891, and DOROTHY LISLE BACON, born February 18 1896. Politically, Dr. Bacon was a Republican until 1896, when he allied himself with the Democratic party.	Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
