"About 1766, I estimate, they came to America and settled in Warren County, Georgia. WILLIAM BARRON served as Captain in the Revolutionary War and was at Augusta and fell into the hands of the Tories and through their instigation, was beheaded by the Indians. They then placed his head in the center of the city where it remained until the Whigs recaptured the city about 3 weeks afterwards. He was hated by the British and the Tories for his bold and daring attacks on them. Therefore they had previously offered a considerable reward for him. Hence the cruel act of theirs."

-- Letter to Honorable J. D. Barron, Sec. of State of Alabama from John Davis Garrard. August 18, 1892. East Lake, Alabama
