I have a problem with the suggested families. It seems most unlikely that Nathaniel Bacon (1737) and Apphia Cole (1742) would be marrying in 1745. Since the Eastham records clearly have Nathaniel Bacon and Apphia Cole registering Intentions and marrying in 1745, I suggest that these were Nathaniel Bacon (b. Eastham 2 Aug 1722), s/o Thomas Bacon and Mary Sciffe, and Apphia Cole (b. Eastham 5 Oct 1724), d/o Timothy Cole and Martha Almony. On 23 Jan 1766 "John Gould and Apphia Cole Both of Eastham were marrid By Mr Joseph Crocker Minster" (Eastham VR, MD 32:65), which would be a more normal age for Apphia Cole (1742). The long gap between the 1745 marriage and the births in Eastham to "Nathaniel and Apphia Bacon" of Thomas (4 Sep 1759) and Nathan (8 Jun 1761) potentially leaves time for Nathaniel (1737) to have married an unknown Apphia and have been the parents of Thomas and Nathan. Or Nathaniel (1722) and Apphia may have been in some other location meanwhile, and had older children. What would be really useful here are some wills, or other records beyond the VRs and secondary records. -- Sincerely, David Kew
