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:

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.

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

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.
Rev. Bager and his wife were said to have come to America aboard the ship "Bawley" on 23 Oct 1752. He was the pastor of the Lutheran congregation of St. David's (Sherman's) Church in Hanover, PA.

married Elizabeth __ in Bertie and moved to Duplin Co. NC about 1770.
One daughter Martha Baggett is identified and she married Hezekiah
Bell. RS John Baggett, born about 1765 in thought to be his son.
Soldier died c1785 and wife Elizabeth is listed in the 1790 Census for

Abraham Baggett.
The 1930 census shows that Huey Bailey was also the father of Pauline, born ca 1917, and Lonie, born ca 1919, presumably from a marriage prior to his 1926 marriage to Lillian Bennett.

James Palmer Bailey, 83, entered into the presence and grace of our Lord, Sunday, January 12, 2003, when taken unexpectedly in an auto accident.
He was born April 19, 1919 in Elmina, Texas to William and Lula Bailey. The family moved to Baytown in 1920. Jim attended school at Goose Creek Independent School District. Employed by Exxon as a machinist, he was president of the Machinists Union and was an excellent arbitrator for his co-workers. Jim also loved music and was owner of Baytown According Center. During World War II, Jim was an infantry man, serving his country in the Aleutian Islands for 27 months and then in Germany in active combat. The men in his company called him "Grandpa" due to his age of 25 making him the elder. Jim believed that God spared his life during the war on several occasions because He had plans for him. His vocation was to carry the banner of justice, fighting long and hard for the rights of the people in our court system. Heading the group called C.A.L.M. (Citizens against Lawyer Monopoly); he helped many people through the system and worked hard to right judicial wrongs. He was tireless and passionate in politics, ever astounded at the machinations of an uncompassionate system. A true champion of the common people, Jim disdained arrogance and walked in the ways of humility, a generous and gentle soul. Jesus said, "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill"(Mt. 5, 6). Jim was, is indeed blessed. His most prized possessions were his wife and his eight children, their husbands and wives, and his 21 grandchildren. We will miss him so.
Jim is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Bernice Bailey, his eight children, Terri (Terese) VanMatre and her husband Joe of Spring; Jennifer Diane Sanders and her husband Terry of Mont Belvieu; Donna Grace and her husband Mike of Colleyville; James Bailey, Jr. and his wife Laura of Bellville; Mark Bailey and his wife Donna of Richardson; Lisa LeCates and her husband David of Spring; Stan Bailey of Las Cruces New Mexico and Kristina McGuire and her husband Scott of Eagle Mountain Lake. He is also survived by his grandchildren, John David and Bradley Busiek; Donna (Tappi), Kristen and Jessica Sanders, Ryan, Chelsea, Kelly and Sean Grace, Rhea and Khyle Bailey, Whitney, David, Bradley, Like and Mark Daniel Bailey, James, Matthew and Christopher LeCates; Bailey and Jonathan McGuire. He is also survived by his brother Bob and Dorothy of Bandera; his sisters, Geraldine Crawford of Highlands; Floreine Nalley of Baytown; Frances Lund and her husband Charles of Baytown; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is also survived by in-laws, Bob and Peggy Prosen of Mount Iron, Minnesota and Stan and Arlene Prosen of Winona, Minnesota and his life long friend Vernon Tuck of Bastrop.

Barbara LaChance [lachance@ccis.com] notes that "in a lot of the slavic names many of the letters are either not pronounced or are pronounced like an entirely different letter. I tried looking up your name "BAJROVIK" and the closest I could get in my books was: BAJOREK (Pol.) Dweller by the slough or muddy place. (Source: New Dictionary of American Family Names by E.C.

Richard's wife has sometimes been listed as Mary Knowles. This was "based on the very weak premise that nearly a hundred years later, a descendant named one of their children Knowles Pace, which was also spelled Noel Pace in other records."
However, Bruce Howard says that Richard's wife was Mary Baker, based on the following deed of gift:
Page 530 Att a Court held att Westov'r 3 Feb 1664/5. Deed of gift dated 21 Jany 1664/5. Richard Baker gives to Richard Pace a parcel of land "lying on the other side of the bottome on the West side of the aforesd Bakers plantacon conteyning one hundred and forty acres in bredth from the aforesd bottome and so holding the same bredth Downe to the great Swamp beginning upon the line of the aforesd Bakers at the head of the aforesd bottome..."
Richard x Baker
Wit: Wm Harris, Patrick Jackson, Caesar Walpole Recorded 7 Febr 1664/5
It is the author's contention that Richard Pace married Mary Baker, the daughter of Richard Baker. The plantation he inherited from his parents was too large for them to manage and a small part of it had been worked for several years. But Richard Pace did not want to, or could not afford to, hire sufficient people to work the place, and Richard Baker gave them 140 acre tract as a dowry for his daughter, with the understanding that his wife, Ann Baker, be allowed to remain at the homeplace for the rest of her life.
After her husbands death, Mary remarried, first to William Briscoe. William was sued several times over debts left by Richard Pace, and this apparently upset him mightly. He and Mary seperated. After his death, Mary Baker Pace Briscoe married a third and final time to a widower by the name of Nicholas Whittmore.
Not listed with his parents and brother as of the 1880 census, so it is presumed he died even younger than was suggested on the Sanford-Shulsen tree (which showed before 1910).
Melba Gene shows she was a daugher of Rev. Jesse S. Baker and Lavina Gober. After Thad's death, she married second George C. SMITH (b. Sep 1850 d. 16 Apr 1908). At the time of the 1910 Census, she was living with her son, William Thomas McLemore, and was listed as T.G. Smith, age 56, widowed, and mother of six children in total, all living. She apparently resumed using the McLemore name after George Smith died, however.
Mrs. McLemore Died Saturday; Bury Sunday
Mrs. Texana Good McLemore, 74 years old, a native Texan, died Saturday at 6:30 o'clock at the home of her son, F.D. McLemore, a few miles east of Ennis, after a two week illness.

A mother at age 18, and widowed with three young sons at the age of 24. She appears to have remarried Solomon Causey sometime after the 1850 census. It appears that she died prior to 1860, as only her sons, William and John were living in Solomon's home at the time of the 1860 census, along with Solomon's new wife Harriett.
A listing in the Family Bible of Catherine Parker Fullen, under burials, shows:
Becky Fullen 1852
Her grandson, W.F. Fullen, reported her maiden name as Baldwin. Some published histories of Sabine County show her instead as Rebecca Ball. No other Ball or Baldwin families are listed on the 1850 or 1860 Census for Sabine County. The census shows Rebecca as being born in Pennsylvania. Her grandson William reported that she was instead born in North Carolina.
MCLEMORE, Mary Mary Elizabeth McLemore, 79, left this earth peacefully on January 10th, 2018. She was born in Nashville, Tennessee on July 28th, 1938, to Charles and Corrine Balch. "M.E." moved to Dallas in 1958 to become one of American Airlines' first flight attendants and was a long-standing member of the Kiwi Club, a social and charitable group for former and current AA flight attendants. Her professional career was mostly spent passionately in the real estate business. She received a "Million Dollar Award" for top realty sales and later spent many years working with Tom Gilchrist & Co. M.E. was a bridge and tennis player, snow skier, and jazz lover who relished spending time on the beach. She loved her family and friends whole-heartedly and showed that through her gentleness, kindness and patience. "Meme" always had time for her grandchildren and loved spending time with each of them. She was as well a long-time member of Lover's Lane United Methodist Church and participated in social and volunteer organizations around Dallas. M.E. is survived by her family in Dallas: two daughters, Dawn McLemore Kinard and Cathleen McLemore Good; grandchildren, Adam Kinard, Tyler Good, and Peyton Good; sons-in-law, Lewis Kinard and Greg Good; and her brother and sister-in-law of Primm Springs, TN, Charles "Butch" Balch Jr. and Jan Balch.
