The Bacon Family of Central Illinois

The family history begins with Thomas Jefferson Bacon who migrated to Illinois from the state of Ohio.

I have been researching both my father's and my mother's ancestry intermittently since approximately 1970.

My interest in this field was stirred by my Grandmother Pearl Pope Bacon who had a photographic memory about her ancestors and her current family. We had long talks about our family.

Any information relating to any branch of the above family will be appreciated.
