Notities over Michael BACON

Michael was probably born at Woburn, though there is no record of the fact and he is not mentioned in any notices or records of the family. It is only through legal documents that we get evidence of his existence.

In December, 1695, as we learn from the record of the First Parish in Dorchester, a band of immigrants went out from the church to found a religious settlement in South Carolina. Some went with this band from neighboring settlements, and among them was Michael Bacon. In 1696 a grant of land was made to John Stevens. Elder Pratt went with them, but returned to New England in Fegruary, 1696, where he remained about a year. On his return to South Carolina the land that had been granted was divided. In his diary he says, "the 23d of March in the year 1697 the church and others that were concerned did draw loots; the 24th day that all meet together to stake out and number their loots in the trading town, on both days when they met together on those occasions there was love and amity and peace in what was acted." The division was made and determined by lot. Michael Bacon received lot No. 8 in the 1st range and purchased lots 6 and 7 in the same range from John Stevens. On one of these two lots was the bridge over the Ashley River, originally called Stevens Bridge, but has ever since been known as Bacon's Bridge. Rev. Mr. Lord was the minister who went out with this company. On Mar. 12, 1717, we find that Michael Bacon of Dorchester, South Carolina, gave a power of attorney to Joseph Lord of said Dorchester, giving him authority "to ask, demand, require, sue for, recover and receive all such debts, dues, dutys, sum and sums of money, goods, chattells, legacies and all other demands whatsoever wch now or hereafter shall be due or any way belonging unto me from any person or persons whatever on account of the estate of my father Michael Bacon late of Billerica in the County of Middlesex within the Province of ye Massachusetts Bay in New England." In the drawing of lots No. 10 in the first range fell to Joseph Lord and he purchased Nos. 11 and 12. Aug. 15, 1721, he conveyed No. 10 to Michael Bacon, Nathaniel Sumner and Thomas Osgood, Jr., and the rest of the inhabitants of, in and about Dorchester, now under the misistry of Rev. Mr. Hugh Fisher.

In 1752 quite a company left Dorchester and went to Midway, Georgia, and founded a church there. Among the names signed to the articles and rules of incorporation of the Society at Midway and Newport in Georgia, Aug. 28, 1754, were these names: John Bacon, Thomas Bacon, Josiah Bacon, Jonathan Bacon, William Bacon, Thomas Bacon, Jr., Jno. Bacon Jonathan B. Bacon, Edmund Bacon, Joseph Bacon, Eugene Bacon, Jos. R. Bacon and Tanlon W. Bacon.

After the Revolutionary War Dorchester rapidly decayed, as the country was not fertile and not suited to agriculture. Among the settlers who went to Georgia we find the following mentioned: Dec. 6, 1752, Samuel Bacon and family; April 20, 1755, Joseph Bacon and family; Mar. 22, 1771, Jonathan Bacon and family. Unfortunately the Dorchester records
have been lost, but the records of the Midway church have been published, and through them, even down to a comparatively recent time, may be found the name of Bacon, probably descendants of Michael.
