I am new to this list and am hoping there is someone who might be able to help me. According to the MAINE FAMILIES IN 1790, Vol. 4, my "Thomas Bacon, b. Eastham {Barnstable}, MA, 4 Sep 1759, {was the } son of Nathaniel and Apphia {Cole} Bacon (MD, 16 [1914]", etc. The problem is, I cannot find any further proof of the parentage of Thomas Bacon. His name is not among several lists of Nathaniel and Apphia's offspring that I have found. I would be so grateful if somebody could furnish me with more {or different!} information. My Thomas ended up a settler in Gouldsboro, Hancock, Maine, married Mary _______. Their son, Thomas Jr. married Hannah Simmons - or Simons - and had Thomas III, born 1814 in Gouldsboro. He was my 3rd great-grandfather. Thanks so very much! Suzi Larson
