Nathaniel Bacon, and a cousin of his, bearing the same surname, both showing a clear descent from the Bacons of Suffolk, to which belonged Lord Verulam, Viscount St. A Ibans, the great Bacon, Lord Keeper, came over to Virginia before 1644, and obtained large estates there. In 1675 Nathaniel Bacon led an insurrection against the profligate Royal Governor Berkeley. Defeated, he died soon after of fever and disappointment. The pedigree of the Virginia Bacons is accepted as complete and authentic. It connects them with the Bacons of Redgrave, Premiers Baronets of England.
