Notes

Andrew Thomas D. Barron

Joseph L. and Flemmon (Femmon) Sharp Barron came from

Campbell County, Tennessee to the Washington County, Arkansas

area about 1848. Joseph was the son of Joseph and Sarah

Murray Barron and was born about 1800 and died in 1897.

Flemmon was the daughter of Richard and Nancy Sharp (maiden

name unknown). She was born about 1802 and died about 1876.

The Barron land was in Section 11, Township 14, Range 31

West. They are listed in the 1850 census in the Mountain

Township.

They were the parents of thirteen children: Calvin, Nancy,

(they both remained in Campbell County, Tennessee) Hiram,

John Alford, Andrew Thomas, Richard S., Joseph, Lewis, Emily,

Flemmon, Elizabeth, William Marion and James Madison. My

ancestor is the fifth child, Andrew Thomas D. Barron. He was

born about 1830 in Campbell County, Tennessee and died on

October 16, 1865. He married Wincey Carmelia Stevenson on

January 23, 1851 in Washington County, Arkansas. She was the

daughter of Samuel and Nancy Pittman Stevenson and was born

about 1832 and died in 1909. She is buried in the Sharp

Cemetery in Prairie Grove. It is my belief that she is buried

beside Thomas, but I have not found a record of his burial place.

Their daughter, Nancy Barron Hill Thurman is buried beside

her. One tombstone marks the graves of Carmelia, Nancy and

John Hill, the husband of Nancy.

Andrew Thomas and Carmelia had five children: Lavina,

Lamesa Madeline, William Ferrell, Nancy F. and Calvin

J. Barron. My great-grandfather was William Ferrell. He was

born June 15, 1857 and married Annie Elizabeth Morrison on

July 18, 1881. The place of residence listed on their marriage

license was Billingsley. Annie was the daughter of James Richard

and Elizabeth Brotherton Morrison. She was born January 12,

1863. They had eight children, the first six being born in

Washington County. They moved to Grayson County, Texas

about 1894 where William engaged in farming until his death,

January 27, 1908. Annie continued to live with her son, Macie

until she died February 9, 1932. Their children were: Nora Ethel,

Macie Rellas, Willie Ommer (died as an infant) Virgil, Avery,

Ada, Minnie Alma and Henry Clay.

Nora Ethel was born December 24, 1883 in Prairie Grove.

She was my grandmother, only four-feet-eleven-inches tall, but

full of love for her family. Nora married Samuel Lee Gurley on

September 15, 1901 in Grayson County, Texas. Sam was the son

of Daniel Woodard and Mary Jane Fielder Gurley. They had

two baby boys that died as infants and one daughter, Eunice

Pearl born on June 17, 1911 in the Farmington Community of

Grayson County. Sam died in 1935 and Nora died on December

18, 1957. Eunice married George Clay Hall on July 28, 1928 in

Denison, Grayson, Texas. George was the son of Wilburn Henry

and Minnie Porter Hall. Eunice died January 5, 1970 and George

died August 17, 1972. They had two children, Donald Everett

and Margie Nell. Donald was born July 2, 1929 in Sherman,

Texas and married Peggy Ann Moore on October 24, 1953. Peggy

was the daughter of Gary Autrey and Nell Craven Moore. They

had three children: Denis Don, Hal Lynn and Bettye Diane.

Donald died March 13, 1976. Denis married Regina (maiden

name unknown) in May 1984 and they had a daughter, Samantha

Lynn, born August 12, 1986. Betty Diane married Doug

Wright September I, 1984.
