The above photo is the oldest photo that I have of a Bacon Family member. This photo was believe to have been taken in Camden, New Jersey and is of my Great Grandparents William (6) and Anna Catherine (Whittich) Bacon with their first three children. It was taken after the baptism of my Grandmother Winifred Ann Bacon (33) who is sitting on her mother's lap. The Family members names with an " * " in front of their names have additional information about them within this document. Those shown in "Marroon" are the direct ancestors of my children Chris, Ryan, Kayla & Kara. Anyone that has information or questions on this family line please "email me". Thanks, and I hope you enjoy this short history of the Bacon Family. Surnames other than Bacon within this family tree include:
" John Ernest Pickett, Jr. " (101)

Family Notes: The year of the birth for all the above children is calculated based on their baptismal records.
27. Milicent Bacon - b. 1826, d. ??
Family Notes: The year of the birth for all the above children is calculated based on their baptismal records. Milicent (27) was baptised on December 31, 1826 in Measham, Derbyshire, England. Samuel (28) was also baptised in Measham, Derbyshire, England in July, 1828. Daniel (29) was baptised on December 18, 1831 in Stockingford, Warwickshire, England. John (30) was born in New Invention, Willenhall, Staffordshire, England.
In 1850 he married "Harriet Ward" who was born in December, 1832 in England. Her parent's names are currently unknown. In the year 1851 they were noted as living on Oxford Street in the parish of St. George, Wolverhampton. However by 1861 they had moved to Bloxwich, near Walsall, where there was evidently more mining work. In the 1871 census, Samuel (28) and his family had moved to the far north of England in County Durham. It appears they may have been looking for a better life in the countryside, and this may be what inspired them to emigrate to America 15 years later. In the 1881 census, however, they are noted living in Burtwood, Staffordshire. Evidently it didn't work out for them in County Durham and they returned to this area for more work. In the late 1880's they evidently decided that the best thing for them was moving to America to look for more mining work. They are believed to have landed in Philadelphia in ca. 1888. They moved to and resided in Mahanoy City, Schuylkill Cty, PA. which was a coal mining town during that time. They are both believed to have died there sometime between 1900 and 1910 since they don’t either showup in the 1910 census. Together they reportedly had twelve children. Only six of their names are currently known. 32. *Samuel Bacon, Jr. - b. Nov. 26, 1860, d. Feb. 4, 1933 33. *Harriet Bacon - b. 1862, d. ?? 34. *Daniel Bacon - b. 1864, d. ?? 35.
