Sir Edmund Bacon, 6th Baronet, of Redgrave
Sir Edmund Bacon, 6th Baronet (c. 1680 or 1686 – 30 April 1755), of Garboldisham, Norfolk, was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1710 and 1741. Life
Bacon was the eldest son of Sir Robert Bacon, 5th Baronet and his wife Elizabeth Chandler, daughter of Daniel Chandler. He was admitted at Pembroke College, Cambridge on 5 May 1697. Bacon succeeded his father as baronet in 1704. In 1710, Bacon stood as Member of Parliament (MP) for Thetford, a seat he held until 1713. He then represented Norfolk from 1713 until 1715, and again from 1728 until 1741. On 27 November 1712, Bacon married Mary Kemp, daughter of Sir Robert Kemp, 3rd Baronet at Ubbeston in Suffolk. 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.
