Notes about Michael BACON

Michael was born in England and came to America in 1640. He was probably born about 1608 as we find in a deposition before the court of Middlesex County, made in 1668, that he certified that he was about sixty years of age. Dec. 18, 1640, we find his name on the Town Orders for the proposed town of Woburn, of which he was one of the original inhabitants. In 1644 he was chosen surveyor of highways. In 1653 he, with William Simms, bought two hundred acres of land in that part of Cambridge which is now Bedford, "bounded by Capt. Cookes farme southeast and the Common round elcewhere with all the meadow adjoyning to the grat Swamp near the East corner of Concord boundes that fals in Cambridge boundes." Before 1675 he is said to have erected a saw and grist mill on the Shawsheen River. This mill was burned by the Indians at the time of King Philip's war. A military guard was detailed for his protection, and the mill was rebuilt. He served as selectman in 1659-1665, 1666, 1668 and 1670. In 1675 he was a citizen of Billerica. In August of that year, when the town was providing for defense against the Indians, he and his family were assigned to garrison 10 under command of Timothy Brooks. From the Woburn records we learn that his first wife was named Mary and she died Aug. 26, 1655. He married second, Oct. 26, 1655, Mary Richardson, widow of Thomas Richardson. She died May 19, 1670. He married third, Nov. 28, 1670, Mary Noyes, widow of Thomas Noyes of Sudbury and daughter of Walter and Eliza Haines. He died July 4, 1668.
