• Notes

  Descendants of Nathaniel BACON> Generation No. 1 1. NATHANIEL3 BACON> (WILLIAM2, UNKNOWN1) was born Abt. 1621 in prob. Stretton co., Rutland, England1, and died 1673 in Barnstable, Barnstable, MA 2,3. He married HANNAH MAYO> 4 December 1642 in Barnstable, Barnstable, MA4,5,6,7, daughter of JOHN MAYO> and THOMASINE/TAMASINE (----------)>. Notes for NATHANIEL BACON>: The Stretton registers begin in 1631 up to 1684, if any registers were was kept before 1631 they have been lost, so there is no Baptismal records for Nathaniel. Since he was married in Barnstable in 1642 and became a freeman in 1643, he was probably born by 1621 or even earlier. Over the centuries a good deal of attention has been focused on Nathaniel BACON, who lived his entire life in Barnstable. There was another Nathaniel BACON in Middletoen, CT., which has confused the issue of the English origins of the family. This should have been settled by Donald Lines Jacobus's definitive article in TAG Vol.22, page 181 on "THE TWO NATHANIEL BACON'S,", but confusion persists among descendants and researchers. To reiterate Mr Jacobus's point, The following is from "Records of the Colony of New Heaven" edited by Charles J. Hoadley and printed 1858 vol.2, page 427 f: On 17 Oct 1661, depositions were given by John WARD and John and Mary (WARD) FLETCHER of Milford, CT., formerly of the County of Rutland, England, concerning the BACON family whom they had known there. They stated that there was two brothers, Henry and william, who had no other brothers, who dwelt in Stretton, and that Henry had removed to the parish of Clipsham. They declared that Henry had had only one son Thomas, who had gone to Barbados and died there. William BACON, the other brother, has a "sone called Nathaniel BACON, whoe was his eldest sone, who now lieueth in New England" and who was present at this testimony. Because these depositions were taken in New Haven, it was assumed by many, that the Nathaniel BACON involved must have been the Connecticut man. Mr. Jacobus disposed of that possibiliy by pointing that, among other inconsistencies, the Connecticut Nathaniel had a uncle Andrew and therefore did not fit the description. Nathaniel was chosen a representative of Plymouth Colony in 1665 and made an Assistant to the General Court of the Colony 1667.
