I am seeking information on the Carr family of Unadilla, specifically a Eunice Carr, who married Zabina Bacon, the son of Ebenezer Bacon. They left Unadilla about 1820 and moved to Ashtabula County, Ohio. I would appreciate any suggestions on where to look. I am planning a trip to New York next week and depending on the weather, may visit Unadilla. I also am seeking information on Desire Hough, who was the second wife of Ebenezer Bacon. Below I copied in a biography of one of the brothers of Zabina, Milton Hough Bacon. Source: History of White County, IL, Phillips Township (ca 1882-1884) p 925-926 Milton Hough Bacon, M.D., was born in Unadilla, Oswego Co., N.Y., June 22, 1803. His genealogy can be traced to the early settlement of our country, and he is a direct descendant of one of the old veterans who participated in the French and Indian war. His father, Ebenezer Bacon, was born at Woodstock, Conn., and served six years as a solder under General George Washington during the Revolution. After freedom was declared he married Desire Hough, and bought out thirteen families of "squatters" - 400 owned from three to five saw-mills, which were kept busy at work manufacturing pine and hemlock lumber. Dr. M. H. Bacon is a physician and lawyer by profession. After attending medical college at Fairfield, Herkimer Co, N.Y., he was married to Miss Mary N. Daily, who died at Experience, Scoharie County. By this marriage two children were born - Henry M. and Mary. The latter died when about three years old, and Henry M. spent two years in a Chicago medical college and graduated from Evansville Medical College in 1852. In 1824 Dr. M. H. Bacon commenced the practice of medicine at Lancaster, Ohio, and twelve months later he went into partnership with J. S. Ligate, at Zanesville, where he remained two years. After some time spent in traveling over the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama, he settled at Aberdeen, Ohio. From thence he went to Vandalia, Ill, and from here went to Carlinville, Macoupin County, in 1832, where he engaged in the practice of his profession and in the mercantile business for five years. While here he married his second wife, Miss Henrietta Miller, by whom two children were born - Francis H. and Elizabeth M. The former married Samuel C. Smith, and lives at Mattoon, Ill.; the latter died when two months old. At the birth of this child Mrs. B. died. Dr. Bacon moved to Carmi in 1839 and entered into partnership with Dr. Thomas Shannon. They carried on a large and successful practice for two years; then Dr. Bacon removed to Phillipstown, where he has resided ever since. In 1853 the Evansville Medical College conferred an honorary diploma upon him, and the next year he obtained a license to practice law. Dr. Bacon was married to Miss Sarah B. Reeves, daughter of J. H. Reeves, Esq., an old resident of Liberty, in 1842. By the union nine children were born - Chas. L., Esther A., Mary B., Addie E., Marcus R., Delos H., Adolph H., Homer A., and Herschel E., of whom only Addie E., Marcus R., Delos H., and Adolph H. are now living. Dr. Bacon has always been a great sportsman, and although in his eightieth year he may yet be seen around ponds during the fall and winter setting traps or fishing. Game was very plentiful when he came to the State, and at one time he killed three deer at one shot, near the Rose pond. he has been carrying on a drug store for the past twelve years.
