Hi Chloe: Meant to answer your latest post sooner but got caught up on another family, adding to its line with a cousin.
I am not a descendant of Moses Bacon. His son Abijah's wife, Elizabeth Ann "Bettie" Mathews, was a sister to my step-great-great-grandmother, Permelia Ann Mathews. I tend to follow all the siblings of a family when I do research, so was following Elizabeth and Abijah, and then tried following Abijah to Moses but hadn't gotten further than Moses when looking around Indiana. I think I recall looking in Tennessee but Moses seems to have been a pretty common name among Bacon families, and I found nothing conclusive.
Even though the Bacons are not my line, certainly I would be happy to work with you to unravel this puzzle.
regards, Patricia
