Hello All,
In a 1999 thread, Terry Reigel posted an AT for the (alleged) ancestry
of the emigrant Michael Bacon of Winston, Suffolk (d. 18 Apr 1648 in
Dedham, Massachusetts). I have replicated that post below [1].
Concerning the parentage of one Richard Bacon, Terry gives the
following for his parents:
" 1152. Reginald Bacon
1153. ? de Meschine She is supposed to be the daughter of Hugh De
Meschine and Berta d'Evereux, according to one source I found.
However, this seems doubtful, since most sources showing that
couple identify the husbands of all their daughters, none of
which is Reginald Bacon. "
There is an element of truth to the supposition of this connection to
the Earls of Chester, but the placement is erroneous. As Terry states,
the daughters of Hugh 'Kevelioc', Earl of Chester (d. 1181) and his wife
Bertrada de Montfort are known, including one accepted bastard (Amicia,
wife of Ralph de Mainwaring).
A charter exists for gifts to the priory of Roucester (Staffordshire)
which support a different connection between the Bacon family and that of
the Earls of Chester. The gift to the canons of Roucestre (for the
foundation of the priory) of the vills of Roucestre, Combrigg & c. was
made by one Richard Bacon ('Ricardus Bacun'),
' ... pro salute animee meae, pro salute etiam Ranulphi
comitis Cestriae avunculi mei, et antecessorum et
successorum meorum,... ' [2]
:translation '..for the salvation of my soul, for the
salvation of that of Ranulf, Earl of Chester, my
[maternal] uncle, and of my ancestors and
successors... '
There were a number of individuals named Ranulf who might
theoretically qualify - the placement Terry refers to would identify
Richard Bacon's uncle as Ranulf 'de Gernons', Earl of Chester who d.s.p.
28 Oct 1232. However, the list of witnesses to this charter provide a
sound chronological basis for identifying the parentage of Richard
Bacon's mother. The full list of witnesses:
' Hugone Wac, Willelmo constabulario de Donington, Thurstano
Banastre, Willielmo Bacoun, Roberto Bacoun, Willielmo
de Colevile, Ricardo Pincerna, Willielmo de Binville,
Galfrido Dispensario, Willielmo capellano, Johanne
capellano, et aliis. ' [3]
Of these individuals, two (William Bacon and Robert Bacon, evidently
#288 in the AT below) were likely sons of Richard Bacon. We can fix the
appropriate time-frame for three of the others:
1. Hugh Wake, lord of Bourne, co. Lincs. [de jure uxoris] 1154-
1176, husband of Emma de Clare [a great-niece of Ermentrude
de Clermont, wife of Hugh, Earl of Chester - uncle of
Earl Ranulf, d. ca. 1129]. He was a contemporary of Ranulf,
Earl of Chester 1129-1153, and of his son Hugh (Earl of
Chester, 1153-1181) [4].
2. Thurstan Banaster, of Munslow and Aston, co. Salop and Little
Appleby, co. Leics., was a witness to charters of Ranulf, Earl of
Chester ca. 1150 [5]. A supporter of Earl Ranulf (1129-1153), he
fought with him against the forces of King Stephen at Coventry
and elsewhere, re: which there is a noted charter from the Bishop
of Coventry to the monks of the priory of Coventry dated ca. 1183,
which confirmed grants of land and other rights to the priory,
which provided in part that
'.. No body was to be buried in the churchyards of Anesti, Sulft',
Wica and Alleslea [Allesley], which had been dedicated during the
civil war for the refuge of the poor at the request of Ranulph
Earl of Chester and Thurstan Banaster, and by allowance of
Richard the bishop and his chapter, but all bodies with the usual
benefits were to be borne to the mother church of Coventry,
according to the charters of bishop Roger [de Clinton], the Earl
of Chester and Thurstan Banaster. ' [6]
Thurstan Banaster was a close adherent of the Ranulf who
was Earl of Chester 1129-1153.
3. Geoffrey le Despenser was dispensator ('dispensarius') to the
Earl of Chester ca. 1135-1153. He was witness to charters of the
Earl of Chester, together with others [once with his brother Ivo
de Alspath] ca. 1135-1153 [7]. Also, as 'Gaufrido dispensatore',
he was a witness together with brother Ivo de Alspath to the
charter in which the Earl recognized Eustace fitz John as
constable of Chester, ca. 1144-45 [8].
Given that the above witnesses were associated (the last two quite
closely) with Ranulf, Earl of Chester 1129-1153, we can fix the time frame
for this charter as most likely between say 1130-1160. Richard Bacon was
then most likely born no later than say 1145: if the Robert Bacon who was
a witness to the above charter was his son, Richard Bacon could not have
reasonably been born later than say 1130. A likely range (quite wide) of
say 1090-1130 for the birth of Richard Bacon seems as close as we can
estimate, and his contemporary placement with Thurstan Banaster and
Geoffrey le Despenser makes him contemporary with Ranulf, Earl of Chester
1129-1153. The most likely placement would show Richard Bacon as a first
cousin of this Earl Ranulf, and a nephew of his father Ranulf, Earl of
Chester (d. ca. 1129).

NOTES:
[1] Terry Reigel, <BACON, THORPE, de MESCHINE, de BACUNSTHORPE>, SGM,
12 Feb 1999 :
I am descended from Michael Bacon of Winston, Suffolk, b. 6 Dec 1579, d. 18
Apr 1648 in Dedham, Massachusetts, m Alice, b. Abt. 1581, d. 2 Apr 1648. I
have assembled the following ancestory for him from a number of sources.
Can anyone can confirm or correct what I have found? I also have several
specific questions which I have inserted at the appropriate places in the
list.
1. Michael Bacon b. 6 Dec 1579 d. 18 Apr 1648.
2. Michael Bacon b. Abt. 1544 d. 25 Mar 1615
3. Elizabeth Wylie.
4. John Bacon b. Bet. 1507 - 1509 d. 19 Mar 1556/57
5. Margaret b. Abt. 1512 d. 1558.
8. Thomas Bacon b. Abt. 1480 d. 28 Feb 1539/40
9. Joan Wade b. Abt. 1484 d. 1540.
16. John Bacon b. Abt. 1430 d. 1500
17. Agnes Cockfield b. Abt. 1457.
32. Edmund Bacon b. Abt. 1400 d. 1453
33. Elizabeth Crofts b. Abt. 1405.
34. Sir Thomas Cockfield b. Abt. 1415
64. John Bacon b. 1390 d. 1453
65. Margery Thorpe b. Abt. 1392.
Both this John Bacon and Margery Thorpe seem to have interesting ancestorys
according to what I've found. I have John's continuing:
1. John Bacon b. 1390 d. 1453
2. John Bacon b. 1360
3. Helena Tillot b. Abt. 1364
4. John Bacon b. 1330
5. Helena Gedding b. 1333.
6. George Tillot b. Abt. 1344.
8. John Bacon b. 1300
9. Cicily Hoo b. 1305
Is Cicily linked to the other Hoos of around the same time period that have
been discussed recently in the ng?
16. John Bacon b. 1272
17. Alice b. Abt. 1275
32. Robert Bacon b. 1245
33. Alice Burgate b. 1250.
64. Robert Kimber Bacon b. 1214 d. 11 Jun 1294
128. Ralph Reynolds de Bacon b. 1190
256. Ranauf de Bacon b. 1160.
I have Margery Thorpe's ancestory continuing:
1. Margery Thorpe b. Abt. 1392.
2. John Thorpe b. Abt. 1372
4. William Thorpe.
5. Margery Quadladdle
8. Sir William Thorpe
9. Beatrice Bacon
10. John Quadladdle.
18. Sir Rodger Bacon
19. Felicia Kirton.
36. Sir Henry Bacon
37. Margaret Ludlam.
72. Sir Henry Bacon b. 1270
144. Thomas Bacon
145. Elizabeth
288. Robert Bacon
289. ? d'Ingram
576. Richard Bacon
577. Alice de Moulton.
578. Richard d'Ingram.
1152. Reginald Bacon
1153. ? de Meschine She is supposed to be the daughter of Hugh De
Meschine and Berta d'Evereux, according to one source I found. However,
this seems doubtful, since most sources showing that couple identify the
husbands of all their daughters, none of which is Reginald Bacon.
2304. Robert de Bacunsthorpe
4608. Roger de Bacunsthorpe
9216. George de Bacunsthorpe
Assuming any of this is factual, is there any link between the Bacon
ancestors of John Bacon (b. 1390) and the Bacon/de Bacunsthorpe ancestors
of his wife, Margery Thorpe?

There were a number of individuals named Ranulf who might

Banastre, Willielmo Bacoun, Roberto Bacoun, Willielmo
de Colevile, Ricardo Pincerna, Willielmo de Binville,
Galfrido Dispensario, Willielmo capellano, Johanne
capellano, et aliis. ' [3]
Of these individuals, two (William Bacon and Robert Bacon, evidently
#288 in the AT below) were likely sons of Richard Bacon. We can fix the
appropriate time-frame for three of the others:
1. Hugh Wake, lord of Bourne, co. Lincs. [de jure uxoris] 1154-
1176, husband of Emma de Clare [a great-niece of Ermentrude
de Clermont, wife of Hugh, Earl of Chester - uncle of
Earl Ranulf, d. ca. 1129]. He was a contemporary of Ranulf,
Earl of Chester 1129-1153, and of his son Hugh (Earl of
Chester, 1153-1181) [4].
2. Thurstan Banaster, of Munslow and Aston, co. Salop and Little
Appleby, co. Leics., was a witness to charters of Ranulf, Earl of
Chester ca. 1150 [5]. A supporter of Earl Ranulf (1129-1153), he
fought with him against the forces of King Stephen at Coventry
and elsewhere, re: which there is a noted charter from the Bishop
of Coventry to the monks of the priory of Coventry dated ca. 1183,
which confirmed grants of land and other rights to the priory,
which provided in part that
'.. No body was to be buried in the churchyards of Anesti, Sulft',
Wica and Alleslea [Allesley], which had been dedicated during the
civil war for the refuge of the poor at the request of Ranulph
Earl of Chester and Thurstan Banaster, and by allowance of
Richard the bishop and his chapter, but all bodies with the usual
benefits were to be borne to the mother church of Coventry,
according to the charters of bishop Roger [de Clinton], the Earl
of Chester and Thurstan Banaster. ' [6]
Thurstan Banaster was a close adherent of the Ranulf who
was Earl of Chester 1129-1153.
3. Geoffrey le Despenser was dispensator ('dispensarius') to the
Earl of Chester ca. 1135-1153. He was witness to charters of the
Earl of Chester, together with others [once with his brother Ivo
de Alspath] ca. 1135-1153 [7]. Also, as 'Gaufrido dispensatore',
he was a witness together with brother Ivo de Alspath to the
charter in which the Earl recognized Eustace fitz John as
constable of Chester, ca. 1144-45 [8].
Given that the above witnesses were associated (the last two quite
closely) with Ranulf, Earl of Chester 1129-1153, we can fix the time frame
for this charter as most likely between say 1130-1160. Richard Bacon was
then most likely born no later than say 1145: if the Robert Bacon who was
a witness to the above charter was his son, Richard Bacon could not have
reasonably been born later than say 1130. A likely range (quite wide) of
say 1090-1130 for the birth of Richard Bacon seems as close as we can
estimate, and his contemporary placement with Thurstan Banaster and
Geoffrey le Despenser makes him contemporary with Ranulf, Earl of Chester
1129-1153. The most likely placement would show Richard Bacon as a first
cousin of this Earl Ranulf, and a nephew of his father Ranulf, Earl of
Chester (d. ca. 1129).
