Sir Edmund Bacon, 6th Baronet, of Redgrave
Sir Edmund Bacon, 6th Baronet (c. 1686 – 30 April 1755)[1] was a British politician.
Life
Edmund Bacon was the oldest son of Sir Robert Bacon, 5th Baronet and Elizabeth Chandler, daughter of Daniel Chandler.[2] He was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge.[3] Bacon succeeded his father as baronet in 1704.[1] In 1710, he stood as Member of Parliament (MP) for Thetford, a seat he held until 1713.[4] He then represented Norfolk from 1713 until 1715, and again from 1728 until 1741.[5]
On 27 November 1712, Bacon married Mary Kemp, daughter of Sir Robert Kemp, 3rd Baronet at Ubbeston in Suffolk.[6] They had four daughters, but no sons and so with his death the baronetcy devolved to a descendant of Sir Butts Bacon, 1st Baronet, of Mildenhall, third son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, 1st Baronet, of Redgrave, thus uniting both creations.[6]
