  Notes	The notes below are assumed, but not proven, to be about the Philo Bacon of Whately, Mass. who was the husband of Lucinda Smith. All of them are transcribed from: HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF WHATELY, MASS INCLUDING A NARRATIVE OF LEADING EVENTS FROM THE FIRST PLANTING OF HATFIELD; 1661-1899 As Revised and Enlarged By James M. Crafts, with Family Genealogies Printed for the Town By D. L. Crandall, Mann's Block, Orange, Mass. 1899 P. 75 Bacon, Benjamin, came from Connecticut in 1774 or '75. Lived in the Allen house at the south end of the Staits and subsequently removed to the gambl-roofed house, afterwards vacated by Martin Graves, 1788, now owned by the Quinn family. He lived with his son, PHILO, and died in 1814, aged 87 years. P. 222 April 23. An order was issued for raising two battalions of seven hundred and fifty men each, from Hampshire county, for two months's service at Ticonderoga. A company of fifty-seven men under Capt. Salmon White, Col. David Wells' regiment, was out from 10 May to 10 July. The Whately men in this company appear to have been: Smith, Elisha Brown, Abijah Coleman, Samuel Field, Zenas Scott, Elijah Wells, Perez Crafts, Moses Bacon, Philo Carey, Richar Lamson, John Morton, Samuel G. Scott, Joseph Wells, Simeon Crafts, Reuben Dickinson, Jehu Faxon, Jacob Allen Parker, Benj. Scott, Abel PP. 204 - 205 LIBRARIES......The first library of which I have any knowledge in Whately was formed sometime between 1790 and '95, perhaps even earlier...To commence with, each subscriber paid one shilling and six pence, and in the original document, which is without date, it was written in ancient form as I-6. Subscribers included 47 individuals, including PHILO BACON.
