The following info was copied from handwritten notes belonging to Lorene Morris-Bivin. (R.Cravins):
Captain William Barron
-The Barron Families lived in Waterford County, Kilkenny County, South Tipperary and Wexford Ireland
-The Barron Families owned approx. 10,000 acres of valuable land- up to the 17th century they were often described in legal documents as archbishop, or bishop, Generals or Commodor. Instunces (?) abound in the armond deeds as far back as 1270.
-Captain William Barron and his brother John Barron were descendants of the Barrons of Burnchurch, Kilkenny County, Ireland and hence lineal descendants of Lord Gerald of Offaby. We do not know which family of the Barrons Captain William Barron descended from.
-Captain William Barron was born about 1740, his wife Prudence Davis born about 1742, they were married 1760. The name of the 4 children are on record. The moved from Ireland to Warren County, Georgia in 1766.
-Captain William Barron was in command of a company in the Revolutionary War. He was wounded in the battle of Augusta, Georgia and fell into the hands of the Lorien who hired an Indian to behead him. They put his head as a trophy on a pole erected in the center of Augusta where it remained three weeks until the whites regained the town and took it down. He was a brave fighter and a terror to the British and Lorien.
-There is on record in Warren County, Georgia a will of W.B. written March 28, 1790. Also in Burke County, Georgia in the old church cemetery between Sardis and Waynesboro is a marker with this inscription "William Barron, Georgia, mil, Rev. War"

BARRON

Captain William Barren and brother, John Barron, were descendants of the Barons of Burnchurch, Kilkenny County, Ireland, and hence lineal descendants of Lord Gerald of Offaby. The patronymic name of the Barons of this Church was Fitzgerald ;i e. of Gerald, Fitz meaning of, they having descended from Lord Gerald. But why the cognomen "Barron" was eventually added, the historian of the Baron Fitzgerald, alias Barron, family does not tell us. He tells us, however why the patronymic Fitzgerald was dropped, and why the name Baron became the
more prominent of the two. The historian says: "The Barrons now so widely dispersed thru out the county of Waterford in Ireland are a branch of the great house of Offaby (the house of Lord Gerald), and were formerly Barons of Burnchurch in the neighboring county of Kilkenny." "The Fitzgerald's of Clonamery, alias Barrons, styled Barons of Brownf ord were a branch of the Burn-church family."Collateral of the last branch of the Fitzgeralds who were Barons of Burnchurch. These two branches of the Burnchurch Fitzgeraldsthe last branch that held a position in the Burnchurch and the Barons of Brownfordsays the historian "involved in the troubles that marked the early part of the 17th century were forced to abandon their native Shire and settle in the bordering
county of Waterford where to escape the rancor of persecution and to elude its vigilance, they dropped their patronymic Fitzgerald and retained only the cognomen Barron."

It seems that Maurice Fitzgerald, a lineal descendant of Lord Gerald was the founder of the Fitzgerald family in Ireland. His grandson, Maurice Fitzgerald, Jr., was the "first Knight of Kerney, and known generally as the Black Knight;" was the common ancestor of the Fitzgerald of Alloone, of the Fitzgerald of Cloyne, Seneschals of Inskilly, and of the Fitzgeralds of Gurteens." Nothing is said of any of these having been Barons or having changed their name to that of Barron. Other branches of the Fitzgerald Family retained the name of Fitzgerald.
While others of Lord Gerald descendants retained the name Gerald, and others obtained other names from their parents. "The Burnchurch branch," continues the historian "has produced many distinguished characters. Authentic records and their monuments still extant fully attest." These show that they were Bishops, Archbishops, Generals, Commodores, etc.

The Commodore Barrens of Virginia, Commodore James Barren and his two sons, Commodore Samuel Barron and Commodore James Barren, Jr., as well as Samuel's son, Captain Barron, were the same family, and were in the service of the United States during the Revolutionary War and since then.

One of the monuments referred to above bears the date 14th of April, 1621; another, Feb. 1545. A deed to lands for military service bears date 17th of Sept. 1622; another from Queen Elizabeth, July 7, 1597 for military service. Roland Barron, alias Fitzgerald, consecrated Archbishop of Coshel, 1553. Other records of different dates, and some earlier.

Three branches of the Fitzgerald, alias Barron family, dropped their patronymic Fitzgerald and retained the cognomen Barronall descended from the Burnchurch family and all fled to Waterford County, Ireland, but from which of these three branches Captain William Barron, of Warren County, Georgia, descended, it is not known.

Captain William Barron was born about 1740 or earlier but lived no doubt, in Waterford County, Ireland, or less likely in the adjoining county of Kilkenny. His wife, Prudence (Prudy) Davis, born about 1742. They were married about 1760 and two or three of their children were born in Ireland. They came from Ireland about 1766 to Warren County Georgia. Captain William Barron was in command of a Company in the Revolutionary War. He was wounded in the Battle of Augusta, Georgia, USA., and fell into the hands of the Tories who hired an Indian to behead him. They put his head as trophy on a pole erected in the center of Augusta where it remained three weeks until the Whigs regained the town and took it down. His men after he had lain three days on the battlefield without any attention returned under a flag of truce to bury the dead and care for the wounded, took him up, contrary to his wishes, and carried him into the edge of town and laid him down on old Grayson's piazza. Grayson was an old Tory. As soon as the Tories found out that it was Captain Barren, they set about to have him beheaded. He was a brave fighter and a terror to the British and Tories and they had previously offered a considerable sum for his head. The widow, Prudy Barren, nee Davis, died in Warren county, Georgia, USA., about 1815. The names of only four of their children are known; John Barron, Jr., born 1763 in Ireland, Elizabeth Barron born Oct, 25, 1765, most likely in Ireland, William Barron born July, 1767 in Warren County, Georgia, USA., Samuel Barron born July 4, 1768 in Warren County, Georgia, USA. No doubt there were five or six children younger than Samuel and possibly one older than John. Children of Captain William Barron and wife, Prudence Davis Barron: John Barron, Jr., was married between 1788-1790 to Frances Garrard, the daughter of John Garrard of Wilkes County, Georgia, USA. She was the sister of Jacob Garrard who married Elizabeth Barron.

Elizabeth Barron was married in 1786, June 22, and died in 1827 in Putnam County, Georgia, USA. She married Jacob Garrard, the son of John Garrard of Wilkes County, Georgia, USA. The Garrards of Milledgeville and Dennis, Putnam County, Georgia, USA., are descendants of this Elizabeth Barron and Jacob Garrard.

William Barron, Jr., married Martha (Patty) Farr about 1791.

Samuel Barron, married March 22, 1793, to Joannah Braswell, moved to Jones County about 1805 and died in Jones County on June 20, 1826. He left eight sons and three daughters.
