    1. Re: [ALPERRY] BARRON pictures
    2. I have one of the first edition Perry Co. Heritage books. Only three mentions of Barrons in the index and they are skimpy. Page 40 mentions Barron's Beat and describes the location, also that early settlers were mostly ffrom VA, NC, and GA. names mentioned in the area are Scott, Hanna, Hogue, Barrons, Billingsleas, Browns, Evans, Evins, Fosters, Lees, Moores, Wallaces, Weissingers, Hardie, Howze, DeYampert, Phillips, Stollenwerck, Chambers, Walthall, Webb, and White. No given names, just a list of early families. On page 33 and 34 are mentions of the name of "a wealthy lady, Mrs. Julia Barron" who financed a school for women, which was Judson Female Institute; one of the dorms is named for Mrs. Barron. The school was given to the Alabama Baptist State Convention in 1843. Her husband's name is not given. This is all that I found. Hope this can be of some help in locating the Barrons you are searching for. Erline Steed
