Thomas Bacon1,2
b. 23 August 1667, d. 10 April 1749
Father* | John Bacon3 d. 17 Jun 1683 | |
Mother* | Rebecca Hall3 d. 27 Oct 1694 |
Birth* | 23 August 1667 | Thomas Bacon was born on 23 August 1667 in Dedham, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony (New England).2 |
Marriage* | 22 January 1691 | He married first Hannah Fales, daughter of James Fales and Anne Brock, on 22 January 1691 in Wrentham, Suffolk County.4,2,5 |
(Husband) Death | 20 April 1711 | Thomas became a widower when Hannah (Fales) Bacon died on 20 April 1711.4,2 |
Marriage | 3 October 1711 | He married second, as her second husband, Esther (Clark) Thurston, daughter of Joseph Clark and Mary Allen, on 3 October 1711 in Wrentham, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).6,5,7 |
Research Opinion* | Esther (Clark) Thurston married Thomas Bacon the father, and not Thomas Bacon the son. That's our conclusion, based upon our process of data collection and analysis. The Bacon Genealogy reported that Thomas Bacon (1693-1784), son of Thomas Bacon (1667-1749), married Esther Thurston on 03 October 1711, and many additional sources have copied, recopied, and published that information in a variety of formats, including online. The Thurston Genealogies reported that Esther's maiden name was "probably" Clark. Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700 reported the marriage of Thomas Thurston and Esther Clark on 15 June 1693, and also identified his marriage to Esther as Thomas Thurston's second marriage. And, finally, Suffolk County probate documents presented by Esther Bacon on 18 July 1713 confirmed for us that Esther was formerly the "widow and still Administratrix to the estate of her late husband, Thomas Thurston, of Wrentham deceased." In creating our timeline, Thomas Thurston and Esther Clark were married on 15 June 1693 and had six children together before his death on 15 December 1704. At the time of their marriage in 1693, Thomas Thurston was a widower with two surviving children from his first marriage, so at the time of his death in 1704, his widow, Esther (Clark) Thurston, was left with a total of eight children, his and theirs. The Thurston Genealogies reported that Esther next married Thomas Bacon, as her second husband, on 03 October 1711 and, as noted earlier, the Bacon Genealogy identified her husband as Thomas Bacon, the son, who was 17 years of age on 03 October 1711, the date of the Esther Thurston-Thomas Bacon marriage. Thomas' father, Thomas Bacon, however, had been left with six children, five of them under the age of 10, when he was widowed on 20 April 1711, six months before the date of the 03 October 1711 Thomas Bacon-Esther Thurston marriage. As these pieces of the puzzle came together, we concluded that Thomas Bacon, the son, was too young to have been Esther's husband and assume responsibility for her eight children, and that Esther (Clark) Thurston married Thomas Bacon, the father, and they together provided a home for their combined family of fourteen children. They added one more daughter of their own before Esther's death.8,9,10,11 | |
(Husband) Death | 1 August 1713 | Thomas became a widower for the second time when Esther (Clark) Thurston Bacon died on 1 August 1713.6,12,13 |
Marriage* | He may have married third Deborah (Hawes) Pond, daughter of Edward Hawes and Eliony Lumber. No record of their marriage has yet been found. The Edward Hawes source reported the name of Deborah (Hawes) Pond's second husband as just Thomas Bacon, with no source information, parents, previous wife or date of birth. The Daniel Pond source simply noted that after Ephraim's death, Deborah married "a Bacon". Our research indicates that Thomas Bacon, whose first wife Hannah Fales had died in 1711, and fourth marriage occurred after the date of Deborah's death, is the most likely candidate to select as the Thomas Bacon who may have been Deborah's second husband.14,15,2,4,16 | |
(Husband) Death | circa 1737 | Thomas became a widower for the third time when Deborah (Hawes) Pond Bacon died circa 1737.17 |
Marriage* | 16 July 1746 | He married fourth, as her third husband, Mary (Wheelock) Ware Fisher, daughter of Benjamin Wheelock and Elizabeth Bullin, on 16 July 1746 in Wrentham.1,5,2 |
Death* | 10 April 1749 | He died on 10 April 1749 in Wrentham at age 81.2 |

Research Notes* | Sorting the wives of Captain Adams Bailey was a challenge, and we can now state, to our researching satisfaction, that he likely was married three times. In the History of Scituate (1831), no wife was identified for Captain Adams Bailey, however his son Adams was mentioned. In Mitchell's History of Bridgewater (1840), he identified "Catherine Little" as Bailey's wife, married in 1775. The History of Hingham (1893) identified his wife as "Mrs. Catherine (Cushing) Nichols, widow of Nathaniel Nichols and daughter of Stephen Cushing and Katreen (Kilby) Cushing". The Bailey Genealogy, part three compiled by William H. Reed (1899) duplicated the information provided in the Hingham History. The Cushing genealogy (1905) identified the second husband of Catherine Cushing Nichols as Adams Bailey of Bridgewater. All of these sources, as well as the vital records of Bridgewater and Abington, have helped us present what we believe to be accurate.5,2,6,7,1,8,9,10 | |
Marriage* | 2 November 1775 | He married, as his first wife, the widow Catherine (Cushing) Nichols of Cohasset, daughter of Stephen Cushing and Katreen Kilby, on 2 November 1775 in Cohasset, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress).11,9,7,6,2 |
Revolutionary War* | Captain Adams Bailey served in the Revolutionary War as a Regimental Captain.12 | |
Marriage* | 17 December 1779 | He married second Mary Little of Hanover on 17 December 1779 in Hanover, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress).5,8 |
Marriage* | 20 October 1784 | He married third Ruth Reed of Abington, daughter of Nicholas Shaw Jr. and Ruth Beal, on 20 October 1784 in Abington, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress).2,13,5,10 |
Occupation* | Captain Adams Bailey was the Steward (or superintendent) of the Mariner Hospital in Charlestown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.12,1,2 | |
(Captain) Pension | 1 April 1818 | On 02 July 1818, Adams Bailey, the former Regimental Captain of John Bolton during the Revolutionary War, provided supporting testimony to the court on John's behalf. On that same date of 02 July 1818, Judge Witmore certified the supplementary evidence of Adams Bailey, and wrote that he was satisfied that John Bolton "yet remains in such reduced circumstances in life so poor as to require the aid and assistance of his Country for his support."12 |
(Husband) Death | 1 January 1822 | Adams became a widower, possibly for the third time, when Ruth Bailey died at age 86 on 1 January 1822 in Abington, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. The town record identified her as a "widow", the wife of Adams Bailey (referencing G.R.1) of East Bridgewater, the widow of Captain William Reed and the sister of Calvin Shaw. Adams Bailey lived in Boston (or Charlestown) in 1822 and died in 1824, so he was still living at the time of Ruth's death.14 |
Death* | 26 July 1824 | He died on 26 July 1824 in Charlestown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, at age 76.2,15 |
Burial* | He was originally buried in Copps Hill Cemetery, and was later reinterred in the Laurel Path Plot, Forest Hills Cemetery, Jamaica Plain, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.16 |
