Jeremiah Bacon was born in Salem Co., New Jersey and moved to Maidencreek Twp., Berks Co., Pennsylvania after his marriage to unknown wife maybe a Fronica? Both Jeremiah and wife are buried in Berks Co., PA. (Note by rr: Janell later wrote that he was NOT born in New Jersey, but rather Berks County, PA)
Known sons born to Jeremiah and wife :
Henry Bacon remained in PA
Jeremiah Bacon Jr remained in PA
Thomas Bacon remained in PA
James Bacon moved to TN
Charles Bacon moved to TN
Isaac Bacon moved to TN
John Bacon moved to TN
Jonathan Bacon moved to TN
All the Bacon sons served in some company in Pennsylvania during the Rev War ; most were inactive except for John Bacon who received depreciation pay.
