Patrick Barron of Missouri and Kansas
I'm looking for information on Patrick Barron. We know little about him. He was my wife's greatgrandfather. Came from Ireland as a young man (16 to 20) with his uncle (name unknown). His daughter, Anna who was born in Coffeyville, Ks. in 1875, said he was a rider for the Pony Express for a brief time. We do know that Thomas and Patrick Barron arrived at St. John (can't remember right now whether that is Newfoundland or Labrador) aboard the Mary Anne in 1856. We have no reason to believe they are our ancestors, except one name is correct and its about the right time. St. John is a long way from Kansas, but it also is a long way from Ireland. Any help would be appreciated.
