He is the son of WILLIAM BACON died 1660 and MARGARET, and a cousin of Nathaniel Bacon, "The Rebel," who left no son, as has been frequently claimed, to hand down his name.

    LYDALL BACON
    Son of John Bacon
    LYDALL BACON, son of JOHN BACON, was born 1717 in St. Peters Parish, New Kent VA., and died in Mecklenburg Co., VA., where his will was probated 12 October, 1775.
    
    
    He married about 1740 to MARY ALLEN who was born 1721 in New Kent Co. VA., and died 11 October, 1816 in New Kent Co. Mary, daughter of SAMUEL ALLEN of New Kent Co.
    
    
    The name of Drury Allen begins to appear in this line of Bacons after the marriage of Mary Allen to Lyydall Bacon. Many have thought Mary was the daughter of Drury Allen, son of Robert Allen , but Drury was not old enough to be the father of Mary as some researcher have stated. The name of Drury could be from the Bacon side of the family from a maternal line in England, or Mary could have named a son after her brother, Drury Allen.
