Notes:

There are conflicting data with Nancy's death date, as family records list the birth of their sixth child, Mary Ann Bacon, on 15 Jul 1819. Given that many sources also confuse the death date of her husband, John, on either 11 or 14 Sep 1857, it is apparent that the likely source of the confusion is a worn '4' appearing as a '1'. Family records list Nancy's death date as 8 Sep 1847 rather than 1817, which also makes her birth date (abt. 1781 if she was 66) more in line with her husband, who is listed as age 80 when he died in 1857, making his birth date abt. 1776/1777. Historically and culturally, this would make much more sense than John marrying a woman who was born in 1751 and would have been about age 52 for the birth of her first child and age 68 at the birth of her last child.
