52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks- John Ludlum 1790-1843

This week I thought I would do John Ludlum his birth date is somewhere abt 1790 in Horry South Carolina. The earliest census record I found was the 1830 Federal Census Record for Calhoun Illinois.
2 males under the age 5 ( one being John Quincy Ludlum ), 2 males between 5 and 10 yrs old, 1 male between 15 and 20 yrs old, 6 males between 20-30 yrs old ( might be farm helpers) and on male between 40 and  50 yrs old. ( John)
1 female under 5 yrs old ( Sarah Ann), and one female between 20- 30 yrs old ( Almira, John wife).

1840 Federal Census
1 male under 5 yrs old ( Alma), 1 male between 5-10 yrs old ( John Quincy) 1 male between 50-60 yr old ( John)
1 female under 5 yrs old ( Mary Versilla), 1 female between 5-10 yrs old ( Sarah Ann) 1 female between 10-15 yrs old ( ?) Almira is not on this census, she may have died before 1840.

According to probate records he died 17 Apr 1843, his estate was still being probated after 1850.

Burton Oliver Barron
Born 04 Jan 1908 in Longton Elk Co Kansas. Died 02 Oct 2000 in Corona Riverside Co. California.
He married Hazel Ruth Roberts 05 Apr 1928 Iola Allen Co. Kansas. Her mother wasn't too happy that they got married and tried to tear up the marriage licence and Hazel brother Clyde went to the court house to try to remove the record. Burton and Hazel had 6 children. All are still living except Wanda May, Anita Ruth, Twin girls died after birth.

Burton came to California with his brother Leroy in the 1930s and worked in the orange groves in Orange County at Orange Whole Produce. He also worked for the WPA ( New Deal) and help build Prado Dam in Corona. Later on he worked as a machinist for Great Western Cordage.

We are searching for others who may help us identify the people in photos. Recently a couple big tote boxes showed up at my door step from a cousin. There are many photos of who we have no idea who they are. I believe that many came from my 2nd great grandmother Elmira Jones Veteto, who married William Veteto and remarried William R. Blackburn and the photos were passed down to her daughter Margaret Barron. I think many photos were collected from Garmon and Wanda Estes as they were doing the family tree back in the 1970- 1980s and they were given to them by various family members. Many photos are of the late 1800s- 1960s in Kansas

Barron's That Fought in The Civil War

Barrons That Fought in The Civil War

I have found many Barron men have fought in the Civil War. They were all Union. They enlisted in Illinois. 

I have yet to find Joseph Barron service records. He has eluded me once more. I did find Joseph Barron on the Civil war draft registration in July 1863 along with his brother Benjamin Franklin Barron.I do believe he may have not fought. Garmon Estes noted in the family tree that he had a crooked back. I am wondering if he may have hurt himself after he register for the war.

He and his family lived in Pomona City in Franklin Co. Kansas. According to the 1910 Census record, He worked as a merchant doing resale. In the 1920 census record, he worked as an Implementer which is someone who rides the farm tractors with devices on them and operated other machinery that would help with farming, these devices would turn up the soil, to help with harvesting the crops, to separates the produce and such. He knew how to operate these devices and people would hire him to operate these devices for their farm. He may have even sold these items before 1920 when he was a merchant.
