Hello tat2guy

It would be interesting if you can tell us a little more about him?

From what I've found Bacon and his band of pirates were from the area of Beach Island. They would lure ships into the shoals where they run onto a sand bar. Then they raided the ships.

Re: Pirate John Bacon of NJ
It seems this John Bascons activities seem to be connected to the revoulutionary war?
A notoriously vicous local Tory, John Bacon, and his men also carried out the Barnegat Light Massacre during this same period in 1782. This heinous crime occured when Bacon and his men slaughtered twenty American crewmen who had salvaged British sloop. The Americans was slaughtered while they slept on the beach with the cargo from the salvaged sloop.
But as far as I know there was no mention of treasure from that event connected to him at least?
I hope this has been on some help.

His story is covered in a book tittled: Pirates of New Jersey by Mark P. Donnelly and Daniel Diehl. You can find it at Barnes and Nobles.

Silver Plates were recovered I believe in the 1960's or 1970's along with rusted cutlasses which were around the time of John Bacon
