b: abt 1825 Indiana; enlisted during the Mexican/American War on 14 April 1847, grey eyes, brown hair; was released at Newport Barracks, KY on 7 August 1848. He was a '49er (gold rush) and went to California in Calaveras Dist., with a William F. Patterson and Ann T. Cook. He then appeared in Salubria (Cambridge area, Washington County), Idaho about 1875. In old newspapers he was talked about as being a Salubria "pioneer".
I recently visited his homestead in Bacon Valley, Adams County, Idaho (named for him and then in what was called "Salubria"). There is also a Bacon Gulch nearby, Bacon Creek which runs the length of Bacon Valley, and a Bacon Peak. I have not been able to tie him to any of the other Bacon families in the state and around that area and era, but I'm sure he is related to them.
Salubria Citizen, Jan 5, 1900 -- Dec 29, [1899] the RR reached Cambridge! "...the completion of what the oldest inhabitant has looked forward to with fond anticipation through all the hardships and privations of pioneer life,..." Andrew J. Bacon died at the Soldiers' Home in Boise last week: pioneer of the area.
