According to the RootsWeb.com subsite identified below: "It is said that the name Bacon came from the word buchen or beechen, meaning "beech trees". Bacon is also the name of an ancient seigniory in Normandy." That subsite starts with the following Grimbaldus who is "said to be a relation of William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey". As this data appears to have relied largely on data found in other web sites, we warn viewers to be cautious about relying on it too much. Whilst some cross-references from other sources support some of it, there are also some cross-references which contradict it, such as: (1) An article in www.berkshire.history.com on Margery Poynings who married Edmund Bacon 'of Essex' identifies him as "descended from Sir John Bacon of Ewelme (Oxfordshire)" but the following shows no such ancestor for him. (2) Visitation (London, 1568, Bacon) starts with the John Bacon of Drinkeston who married Agnes Cockfield and reports that he was"descended of Sr Edmond Bacon of Essex that maried (sic) Margery da. and heyre of Quaplade" but the following shows no such ancestor for him.
