Not much is known of John M Barron Sr. He was born in about 1770 in Charles Co. Maryland. I have no idea where died at or when ( others had him dead in Ill.) He married Susan Mattingly. She was born about 1760 St. Mary Co. Maryland. She died 1845 Milan Texas. She was married before being with John, to Joseph Dixon.
This letter I found at Findagrave.com which talks more of the children she had with Joseph Dixon. B.F is Benjamin Franklin Barron, John M Barron Jr. son who is writing to Miles Knowlton Barron his youngest son
Here is a letter A letter from B.F. to his brother, Miles, just months before his death:

John and Susan had three children:
Martha Elizabeth born about 1794. She married Samuel Griffin
Thomas Hudson born 8 Mar 1796 Grayson VA. Hardin Co. KY * Died 24 Feb 1874 Eddy Mclennan Texas. He married Elizabeth Stewart Carnall and Mary Jane Shelton **
John M Jr. born 1800 Pittsylvania VA.
John fought in the Indian war. He was private with the Us Army 16th Regiment. his company commander was Cronwell Pearce. John was 5'8 hazel eyes dark hair age 43. He enlisted 1 Oct 1812 in Philadelphia.
He was reported as missing in action at Stoney Creek June 6, 1812 and was reported as killed M.R Independence, July 24 1814 an American prisoner of war captured at Stoney Creek. Discharged Aug 7 1814. Here is more on the war at Stoney Creek. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stoney_Creek
From my understand from other who have researched the Barron Tree, there is a brick wall as to who John Barron father is. It is possible he is related to Dr. Hendley & Jessie Barron and believed he is their brother. That their father is Thomas Barron of Charles Co. MD who came from Prince William Co VA.
The name Mattingly goes back to England. The Mattingly's came to the US in 1600s to settle in Maryland in an area called St. Mary St. Mary Co. Maryland. They were Catholic and they migrated to Kentucky due to hardship and wars. They migrated with other families, not too sure if the Barron's were one of the other families or not.
* Back then the lines of the counties and states shifted a bit, what may have been Va back then is now Ky. Keep this mind when you do researching. Things change a lot through out time.
** Thomas had 23 children. I will have a different post on him alone, he accomplished a great deal in his life time.
