I ran across this interesting website on participants in Bacon's Rebellion, their counties, miscellaneous other data, etc., when looking into Matthew Bentley, a participant, and though childless, probably a Bentley "cousin".

Surry Co is by far represented by the most fellows, and the Eastern Shore (Accomac and Northampton) among the least..., Governor Berkely did find sanctuary there for a while with John Custis.
Some interesting info on him:

I have not really researched participants in the rebellion, although supposedly I have a Hansford wife who would be a contemporary of Thomas Hansford (hopefully in those York Co records.)
