Passengers
to America, 1635]
The following list of
passengers includes Robert Barron and what appears to be several single
women. We presently have no record of whether one of these women
is the mother of Andrew Barron but if he was born shortly after Robert
immigrated he would have to make a marriage some rapidity. Neville Mann
is quoted in some records as having Andrew Barron coming to Virginia in
1635 on the "David" at age 18. I think this is unlikely in view
of the following record and there may have been confusion about Robert
being David.

The following is taken from the
book The Barron and Hall Family
Histories: With Notes on Related Families, by Roy Holmes Hall of
Dallas, Texas in 1967:
"It is
entirely possible that young Robert landed at Jamestown and from there
removed to Kent Island, now a part of Talbot County, Maryland.
William Claibourne, a Virginian, established a colony and a trading
post on the Island in 1631. Shortly
thereafter, Claibourne was having difficulty with Lord Baltimore's
Colony because they would not recognize his proprietary rights on the
Island. This Maryland established 1634 on st. clement island,
claibourne believed had prior rights. did not have patent, but only a
trading license, so his claims were held to be invalid by king' s
court, and he lost the dispute. This contest over land titles
developed into open hostilities between the two settlements.
A
naval
battle
between Claibourne's ship Cocktrice and the St. Margaret
ensued at the mouth of the Pocomoke River
on April 23, 1635, the same year that Robert arrived in America.
The
quarrel
between
Claibourne and the Maryland
colonists was the chief
topic of conversation at Jamestown,
and
there
was
considerable
excitement.
Claibourne
made numerous trips
to obtain recruits for his colony on KentIsland,
and
the
opportunity
for Robert Barron to be among them was established,
although his name does not appear on records known to date." [Harrison ]
The
following
is
Joseph
Barron's will:
County in the
Province
of Maryland planter, being sick and weak of body,
but of sound and perfect memory praised
be Almighty God for the same and
being very sensible that all men are
born to dye and after that must come
to Judgement, being therefore willing to
settle my affairs in the world
and to dispose of such estate as hath
please God to bless me herewithall
do make and ordain this my last will and testament
hereby revoking and
making void all other former wills and
testaments heretofore by me made
or done in manner and form following.
First of all I commend my soul and
spirit to the care and protection
of Almighty God who gave it and my body
I commit to the earth there to be
decently buried at the discretion of my
executors hereafter named hoping for a
joyfull resurrection unto eternal
glory through the merits of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ who with
the Father and Spirit liveth and
reigneth one God Blessed forever
Imprimis: I give and bequeath unto my well beloved wife, Rachel
Barron, my dwelling plantation now
living upon during her natural life
with house and all other stock as well
as cattle as horses as hogs and
all other things thereon or thereunto
belonging and after my wife's
decease the said dwelling plantation above named I
give to my daughter
Elizabeth Barron her heirs with all the
stock cattle. Said as aforesaid
she the said Elizabeth living with her
mother and to be guided by her
until she comes of age, and if my
daughter Elizabeth Barron should dye
without issue then the said dwelling
plantation shall return to my
grandson, Joseph Barron, son of John
Barron, dec'd and his heirs forever:
I will and hereby devise that at
my wife's decease, my household stuff
and furniture whatsoever be
equally and justly divided between my
daughter Elizabeth Barron and my
son-in-law George Prouse (who was really
his stepson p.h.), freely and
absolutely to them and their disposal:
Lastly, it is my true intent and
meaning of those presents that my just
debts be honestly paid and
discharged at some convenient time after my
decease as witnesseth my hand the
nineth day of March in the year of our
Lord, one thousand seven hundred
twenty four. Signed in the presence of
Thomas Wills, Henry Woods, and
William Servant. Proved in court on 2 June 1725.
Joseph's
estate was appraised by Mich Fletcher, John Catrop on 2 June
1726 at L 24.12.4.
Kin: James and Elizabeth Merrick;
creditors, Thos.
Richardson, William Clayland.
Proved 28 June 1726 by Rachel
Barron,
Administrator.
(Inasmuch as Joseph listed his daughter Elizabeth as a
minor in 1724 and she was married to Merrick in 1726, it is probable
that she married James Merrick circa 10 December 1725 instead of 1713
as noted in the Talbot County marriages.)
