**James Bacon had 3 children, by 2 wives, that were alive at the time of his death, Ann who married John Rivett and (Sir) James and William. Except for being mentioned in his father's will, there does not appear to be any reference about William in any documentation. There was a William Bacon who died in 1573 whose father is shown as Alderman Bacon. As James was an Alderman, could this have been his son William who died young? William is not mentioned in his brother's will.
