David Barron (or Baron) was born, say, in the 1720s in Northumberland. He was buried 17 Mar 1796 in the same town, as “David Baron of Nesbit Hill Head.” David was married probably about 1745 to a woman named Mary –?–; she was buried 19 Feb 1769 in Stamfordham.
David probably belonged to a Stamfordham family that dated back nearly 100 years before his birth. William Barron was christened there 24 Sep 1671, possibly a son of George Barron. And Roger Barron was christened there in 1669, identified as a son of George Barron. A Matthew Barron was born about 1640 and had five children baptized in Stamfordham from 1663 to 1689; others in Matthew’s family lived in Hartburn, Northumberland.
David Barron was not a member of the Church of England. As a member of any other church, he was listed as a “recusant,” that is, a nonconformist. David Baron of Grange House, Stamfordham, was added to the offical listing in 1745; nonetheless, his children were baptized in the official Church.
