  • Notes 
    • Caroline is listed in the 1860 Oglethorpe County census page 413 with
      just the children. Sterling is listed on the 1860 Hamilton County,
      Tennessee & 1870 Walker County census with a wife named Mary. This
      suggests that Caroline and Sterling were either divorced proir to the
      1860census or he left her and went to Tennessee where he remarried.
      Our Sterling could be the "BLACK SHEEP" of the Bacon family if he
      abandoned Caroline and became a bigamist. Divorce was VERY uncommon for
      this era.
