NATHANIEL BACON   "born Jan. 2, 1647, Suffolk, England.  Died Oct. 1676, Virginia Colony.  British-born American colonial planter, leader of Bacon's Rebellion.  Emigrated from England in 1673.  Acquired land in Virginia.  Appointed to the council of William Berkeley, the British governor.  After a dispute over Indian policy, he defied Berkeley's orders and organized an expedition against the Indians in 1676.  He turned his forces against Berkeley, captured Jamestown, and briefly controlled most of Virginia.  His death at age 29 of influenza, at the height of his power, ended the rebellion."  Nathaniel Bacon.
