Cecil and Ernie and anyone else interested. I found the pages in my Barron book regarding Violet Barron Baxter. She was the daughter of John and Jack Duncan Barron and granddaughter of Archibald Barron. She was born 1803. She married Andrew Baxter in 1823. There are two pages on this family, including children's names and later pages on each child. (p. 173-174). Page 73 also lists all of sisters and borthers of Violet. There are a number of pages covering her sisters and brothers and their families. If you can still get the book, it would be a good thing to have. If you are unable to get a book, I will try to answer specific questions that you have. There is also a will of Violet's father, John, which mentions Violet and her husband Andrew Baxter. Let me know what you need and I will try to help you. Mary E.
