I am from a branch of the family that settled in East TN in the 1790s. The patriarch of this branch of the family (at least so far) is Isaac Bacon who was born in 1754 in Maidencreek Township, Berks Co., PA. Isaac served as a private in the PA militia during the American Revolution. I'm trying to identify his parents (Jeremiah Bacon might be his father). There is indirect evidence to indicate that he was related to a James Bacon (m. Magdalena Neuman in Berks Co, 1793) who also moved to TN about 1793.To date, I have found no evidence of a link to the New England Bacons or to the Bacon family that first entered the U.S. via Norfolk VA in the late 1700s. Currently, I suspect a link to a small group of Bacons that first entered the country in the mid-1600s and settled on land just off the DelawareRiver in Salem, New Jersey -- a place called Bacon's Neck. This might make sense as Maidencreek Township is directly on the navigable waterway (Delaware to Schuylkill) just above Reading PA.Please contact me if you can help, or if I can help you.Steve |
