Michael Bacon (1579-1648): m. Alice Blowers

Bacon, Eliza Buckingham, "Michael Bacon - His Probable Ancestry", New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 57:329-331, 1903. "in an article by Mr. Leon Brooks Bacon ... The statement there made that Michael Bacon of Dedham was 'probably' born in England, although he came to New England from Ireland, appears to have raised a controversy ... The will of Michael Bacon, senior ... dated the 14th day of the 2d month 1648, gives 'unto Michall Bacon my eldest sonne one tipped pott [worn] silver spoones ...' The inventory, dated the 20th of the 2d month 1649, contains, among other items, 'one ffeather bed one bolster 2 pillowes £02:10:0, 4 silver spoones and one tipped pott, £01:0:0'. ... the probate records of Ipswich, England, there will be found a will ... of Michael Bacon of Winston, in the county of Suffolk, dated Oct. 24, 1614, and proved Apr. 20, 1615 ... contains this significant bequest: 'Item I geve unto my said sonne Michaell my best ffetherbed bowlster & my best Coveringe A pott Tipped with silver Six silver spones marked wth M and B.' Is not this the will of the father of Michael Bacon of Dedham in 1640, who gives to his son Michael the same pot and spoons that were passed on to his eldest son, Michael of Woburn?"
Bacon, Leon Brooks, "Michael Bacon and His Descendants", New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 56:364-374, 1902. "Michael Bacon, born probably in County Suffolk, England, came to America in 1640, and was one of the early settlers of Dedham, Mass. Tradition says he held the office of captain of a company of yeomanry in County Suffolk. According to Brown's History of Bedford, Mass. (appendix, page 2), he went from England to the North of Ireland about 1633, seven years previous to his coming to New England. The following is taken from 'Dedham Records, Town and Selectmen,' Vol. III, page 68: [26 May, 1640] 'Agreed vpon that the Towne of dedham shall enterteyne ... mr Bacon all from Ireland & afford to them such accomodacons of vpland & medowe as their estates shall Requier.' From a record made the following month (ibid, page 69), it would appear that the wife of Mr. Bacon preceded him in Dedham. He was one of the signers of the church covenant of Dedham. In 1644, he granted land to the town for one of the highways. His wife Alice died April 2, 1648, and he died the same month, April 18, 1648. His will, dated April 14, 1648, mentions all his children, except Alice, who died the previous month. Inventory, April 20, 1649, amounted to £54.15.04."

"Michael Bacon (Michael), born probably in England, came to Dedham in 1640, with his father. He was of Charlestown, Dec. 18, 1640, where he subscribed to 'Town Orders' for the then projected town of Woburn, of which he shortly after became one of its original inhabitants. Michael Bacon, of Woburn, bought of Roger Shaw, in 1648, a farm in the northwesterly part of Cambridge (now Bedford), including 'all the meadow adjoining to the great swamp near the east corner of Concord bounds, that falls in Cambridge bounds.' The Shawshire River runs from this 'great swamp,' on which Mr. Bacon is said to have erected, before 1675, a mill which was very recently, if it is not now, standing. He was chosen, April 13, 1644, surveyor of highways for the town of Woburn. In a mortgage recorded June 8, 1675, he is alluded to as a citizen of Billerica. In August, 1675, the town of Billerica, when providing defense against the Indians in King Philip's War, assigned Michael Bacon to garrison 'No. 10,' under command of Timothy Brooks. He married first, Mary ---, who died Aug. 26, 1655; married second, Oct. 26, 1655, Mary Richardson, who died May 19, 1670; and married third, Nov. 28, 1670, Mary Noyes. He died July 4, 1683."
