Andrew Bacon was an original proprietor of Hartford and his name is on the Founders Monument in the Center Church Graveyard. An early member of the Center Church, his home lot was on the east side of Main Street south of the Little River. He was chosen a townsman in 1641 and 1658, deputy to the General Court in 1642-1656, and with Capt. Mason & Mr. Clark he was appointed to make carriages for guns, and in 1654 he was on a committee to convince men in each town to serve. He was exempted form training in May of 1656. In 1659, he removed to Hadley, Mass. and was a freeman there on March 26, 1661.

He married Elizabeth Stanley, widow of TIMOTHY STANLEY, in 1661. She was probably his second wife.
