On the 1850 census of Marshall Co,TN, is a William Barron,age 49, born S.C.,and wife Melinda,age 49,b.TN. In their household were children Hiram and Matilda Barron. Was "Wilson" the maiden name of Melinda? Was Hiram Wilson any relation to the Wilson families that lived in Chapell Hill in Marshall County.TN? My Robert Stephenson married Jane Barron in York County,S.C. in 1784. Jane Barron was the daughter of Captain John Barron and his wife Margaret Meek. Margaret belonged to the Adam Meek clan of York County,S.C. I noticed an excellent website called "Wilson's of Williamson County,TN'' that mentioned the Meek surname in connection with Mecklinburg County,NC. I don' believe the two Meek families are related,but I found the mention of the Meek surname interesting. Alexander Barron Sr(the brother of Jane Barron),Alexander Barron Jr.William Barron Sr.,William Barron Jr,Dorcas Stephenson Barron, Abraham Barron,and Samuel Barron settled on Robertson's Fork in Giles Co,TN before 1820. I believe the Alexander Barron,William Barron and Daniel Barron on the 1850 and 1860 census records of Marshall in Lewisburg to be related to my Barron family from S.C. Daniel Barron may have been named for Daniel McClaren,who along with his wife Mary Stephenson migrated to Marshall County,TN. In Giles County,TN,in the small Elk Ridge Cemetery where some of my Barrons are buried is the grave of a Rosannah Wilson. I would also like to contact by email,or otherwise,any descendent of these Barrons living in Lewisburg. Thanks, Tom Stephenson
