The following will is from the book "Virginia Gleanings in England - Abstracts of 17th and 18th-Century English Wills and
Administrations Relating to Virginia and Virginians - A Consolidation of Articles from The Virginia Magazine of History and
Biography" By Lothrop Withington. Who was this Ann Macon??

MACON now living in Virginia and to his wife to each of them a ring of 20s. apiece. To GIDEON MACON his son my silver
tankard &c. To ANN MACON daughter of Gideon Macon the elder my silver porringer. To MARTHA my six silver spoons.
To Mary Elwenn, spinster, all my wearing linen and my best hood &c. To Sarah Freckelton a black flowred silk Petticoate
which was her sisters. To Mr. John Baldwin and his wife to each of them 20s for gloves.

If you order the parish registers for St Botolph Algate from the LDS library, you may find that Gideon was actually born there (and not in France). The registers might very well have been printed.
Also, it would appear that Ann Macon may have been the mother or mother in law of Gideon (just a guess).
