    Hello mikee, and welcome to the forum!  Interesting thesis.  So, what evidence you are basing it upon, especially given the fact that Bacon places Bensalem to the west of Peru?  And could it be argued that Virginia was actually based in structure on Bensalem, rather than vice versa?  I do have a question for you.  I know that Bacon had some role in developing the Virgina colony, but I do not know whether he actually set foot there.  Do you know if he did?
