No record of a marriage has been found, but other Barron men from Northumberland County moved to the U.S. in the 1860’s. <br /> <br /> (9) Patrick Born 1851; died after 1899 and prior to 1908.<br /> <br /> (10) Jeremiah Born 1852; baptized September 13, 1852; died July 23, 1921 in Cassilis. He never married. In 1881 he was living with Ellen Harrigan.<br /> <br /> <br /> Note: Census records show Cornelius and Ellen to be older than Mary E. Parish records should be searched for accuracy.<br /> <br /> *Mary Barron (née White) was the widow of William Newport Barron who died December 24, 1840, shortly after their marriage December 29, 1838. They had one child, Jane, at the time of his death and Mary seems to have been expecting another child, Mary, as recorded in the 1851 census. Mary Barron, widow, died June 21, 1876 in Chatham. Her husband had been the Customs representative. <br /> Maggie Barron who married Thomas Keys was a daughter of the widow Barron, but was born June 4, 1852 and, therefore, was not the daughter of William Newport Barron. When Mary, born c1840 died January 12, 1906 in Red Bank, her tombstone in St. Michael’s R.C. Cemetery identifies her as Mary Newport Barron. Maggie and Mary had the same mother but not the same father.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
