The farm Ballavilley (later Seafield, now Arragon) in Santon came into the family through J.J. Bacon's second marriage to the heiress Ann Cosnahan. Captain Caesar Bacon (1791-1876), who fought at Waterloo, was the only surviving son of both his father's marriages. He himself married Frances, daughter of Governor Cornelius Smelt, and lived at Seafield, as did two further generations of Bacons before the male line came to an end in 1916. Because of earlier associations with Douglas, many of the family are buried in their vault at Onchan.
