The Ancestors of
Sarah E. Barron Whitten

This page updated December 5, 2007.

Frequently I will get requests for more information on the Barron side of my Whitten family. James S. "Jim" Whitten married Sarah E. "Sallie" Barron in Winston County, Mississippi in January 1867. Sallie was the daughter of Almond M. and Frances M. Barron of Louisville, Winston County, Mississippi. According to The Barron Family in the American South, Almond died a soldier in the Confederate Army in July 1863 during the Seige of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Fannie and her children are listed in the 1870 Winston County census. Fannie's maiden name is unknown. Almond, born circa 1824, was the son of Ezekial and Sarah Barron. His lineage goes from Ezekial Barron back through James Barron, Joseph Elias Barron, John Barron, Joseph Barron/Barrand Sr, and finally to Robert Barron, born circa 1617 in the British Isles. This information came from The Barron Family in the American South and was shared with me in 1999 by Patrick Harrison. I have since lost all contact with Patrick, as the e-mail address I have for him is no longer functional. When Patrick sent me the information, he cited John Barron as the primary compiler of the information. The address Patrick gave me for John in 1999 was JBarron933@aol.com. I don't know if this address is correct or not, but if John Barron or Patrick Harrison find this page, please contact me!

I cannot take any credit for the information contained in the files below. This information was generously shared with me. I did, however, highlight in bold the information that applied to Sallie's direct ancestors. I hope some of the information will be useful in your search.
