BACON, ALFRED E. 1837-1884 TATTNALL
Alfred Everett Bacon was born on October 19, 1837, a son of John F. E. Bacon and his wife, Rose Ann Blocker (Vol. IX). Alfred grew to maturity on his father's plantation, near present day Daisy, in Evans County, Georgia.
Alfred E. Bacon was married about 1855 to Ronelda Kicklighter. She was a daughter of Jesse Kicklighter (Vol.V11) and his first wife, Vicy Thomas. Ronelda was born on September 19, 183 6 in Bulloch County, Georgia, but came with her parents to Tattnall County about 1841. The Jesse Kicklighter family settled within a few miles of the John F. E. Bacon plantation.
Alfred E. Bacon was a Confederate soldier. He enlisted in the Tattnall County Volunteers on May 9, 1862. This was the third and last infantry company to be formed inTattnall County. His outfit became Company H, 61st Regiment and was attached to Lawton's Brigade. They were immediately shipped out by railroad to Richmond, Virginia in order to join General "Stonewall" Jackson's Corps. During 1862, Alfred E. Bacon saw action at the battles of Gaines Mill, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg. He spent the winter of 1862-1863 at Front Royal, Virginia and was promoted to the rank of corporal at that time. In 1863, he fought at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. He was furloughed home in the fall of 1863, but had to return to Virginia in the winter.
He was finally captured by Union forces on May 5, 1864 during the first day of the Battle of the Wilderness. As a prisoner of war, he was among the first sent to Elmira Prison in New York. This prison was designed to hold 5000 men, but eventually housed over 12,000. It came to be the most dreaded of all the cruel Union camps. Alfred spent seven months there, finally being exchanged on February 20, 1865. He spent his last days in the Confederate Army at Camp Lee. Upon, returning home, Alfred E. Bacon was given 200 acres by his father. This property was located on the western end of the Bacon Plantation, near the Canoochee River. However, Alfred and family did not remain on this property for very long. In 1875, he petitioned for a land grant of 200 acres in the southeastern part of Tattnall County. It seems that this land was located near present day Birdford and was bounded by the property of his brother-in-law.
Alfred E. Bacon and Ronelda, were the parents of the following known children:
1. Queen b. ca 1856.
2. Benj. Ebenezer b. 3/22/1858, m. Miriam Strickland, 12/13/1883. d. 12/21/1938.

5. Edmund Harvinger b. 5/22/1864, m. J. Estella Whitten, ca 1886. d. 2/22/1929.
6. Charlotte E. b. ca 1867.
7. Charles C. b. 7/20/1868, m. Viola Burkhalter, 8/1/1888. d. 3/30/1950.

10. Rufus Lester b. 4/3/1882, m. Julia Eugenia Stubbs, ca 1905. d. 3/25/1943.
Alfred E. Bacon died on October 18, 1884 and was buried in the cemetery at Beard's Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Tattnall County, Georgia. Ronelda (Kicklighter) Bacon died on August 27,1890 and is buried beside her husband.
