Surnames: Baron, LeBaron, LeBarron Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SVC.2ACEB/136 Message Board Post: According to FamilySearch, Mathurin Baron (b. 1635 in Paris) married Marguerite Blondeau (b. 1638 @ St. Louis en L'Isle) in 1659 and they had a son named Francis in 1668 (also @ St. Louis en L'Isle). I have two questions. The first is if anyone has any information on their family history The second has to do with the claim that Francis Baron is the same man as Francis LeBaron (b. 1668 in France) who was the founder of the LeBaron and LeBarron families in the U.S. This is of great interest to many people, as the origin of Dr. Francis LeBaron is an item of interest, family legend and speculation for a large number of people.
