Robert Wells (Bacon researcher) writes to Tracey (Bacon) Marvin (descendant):
There are two key points to identifying him. In the first place we know that he cannot have been a son of Isaac (who already had a son named Jonathan) or of Charles (whose only two sons were Charles and Jacob). Within the timeframe we are talking about that only leaves Jonathan Sr., James, Jeremiah (son of John) and John himself as possible fathers. We are able to rule out Jonathan Sr. because of a deed record dated 1829 (Deed Book 19, page 21) in which he names his son Jonathan Bacon Jr. as the man who was living on Sinking Creek at that time. In 1848 "Jonathan of Jonathan" Bacon was named in a land entry record which names all his neighbors. Land entry record Book 1824-1875, p.29, entry 905. The 1840 census lists two Jonathan Bacons, one being the man on Sinking Creek surrounded by these same neighbors and describes as "Jonathan of Jams" (sic) Despite the error in his identification in 1840 what the census makes clear is that one of the two Jonathan Bacons listed as heads of households was a son of James. Therefore I agree wholeheartedly with your identification of him and am absolutely certain that your Jonathan was one of the eleven children of James Sr. and Magdalena Bacon.

Transcribed by Margaret Jobe-Land records show that Deborah died later than January 1872. This proves that the Martha Barron who married John Armstrong Murray was the daughter of Deborah Barron and NOT her sister, Lydia Ann. Martha E., the daughter of Lydia Ann (Barron) Bacon married Greenbury F. COX January 24, 1870 Greene Co., Illinois.
