"Virginia's Descendants" compiles information on Virginia immigrants from many different sources into one file, using the Family Tree Maker 2006 (Version 16) genealogy program. We do not compile mere lists of names and dates, but include all the interesting material we locate on the immigrant and his descendants. The information we gather includes court cases; residences; employment; education; deeds; descriptions of homes; physical traits; personalities; transcriptions of wills; personal correspondence; and even contemporary reports of gossip circulating about individuals during their lifetimes. And we offer this colorful genealogy file to the descendants of Virginia immigrants for a fraction of what it would cost them to obtain the material on their own.

Thomas Bacon emigrated from his native England to Virginia before 1651 when he and his wife, Elizabeth, were counted among the transports for a land patent of William Armistead, the rights belonging to a Philip Hunly previously. He settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia, where he died in 1656, leaving issue.

Of the 464 different surnames included, other than Bacon, those appearing ten or more times: Allen, Bugg, Chambliss, Clopton, Dixon, Durham, Elder, Fall, Floyd, Hill, Holland, Huntly, Jackson, Jones, Marshall, May, Morton, Napier, Neal, Oslin, Ozlin, Pettus, Shelton, Smith, Stokes, Taylor, and Whobrey.
