Trying to find family of Harrison P.O. Bacon, born 1825, in Connecticut. Married Sarah M Wilson, born 1838 in MA. Not sure Windham is the correct county of origin; but since descendending families lived in Worcester, MA and Woonsocket, RI, it seems the most likely place to start. From what I can find out about him (according to census reports), he was a Mule Skinner, a Farmer, and Proprietor of a "Poor House" in Worcester. At the moment, all I have in the names of children are Harriet E, born 1861, and Fred C, born 1865, both in Sturbridge, Worccester, MA. Any information about this family will be appreciated.
