John Valentine Lewis Barron (Catholic) was born 9-5-1801 in Kandal France. His grandaughter (my grandma) was Mary Margaret Baron b. 7-1-1911. They lived just north of Dayton, OH which is very close to Muncie, IN. There has to be a connection somewhere. I believe (Not proven yet) his parent were Nicolas Baron b. 1772 and Franzizka Metzin b. 1776.
