Notes for Ann Barron: Ann Barron married three times; first, a Mr. Cunningham, brother of her sister's husband, and had issue: William Cunningham, lost at sea in 1795 on a pilot boat schooner on which he served as pilot; Samuel, who died in Newbern, North Carolina, in 1795. James Cunningham, lost at sea during the Revolution while he was serving as a mate Mrs. Cunningham married, secondly, a Capt. Johnston, and had issue: James and Mary Johnston.
She married, thirdly, a Mr. Noden, and had two sons, both of whom died young, one lost at sea at the age of 16. ****************************************************************************** Patricia Oliver Holloway's notes: I think the two Barron sisters (Ann and Mary) married two brothers of the William Cunningham that married Susanna Roe. This would make William Cunningham a brother in-law to Ann Barron and Mary Barron and would make William Roe Cunningham a nephew.
In Lummie Cunningham's notes she writes that 'He (William Roe Cunningham) was nephew of Captain Samuel Barrron, commander of Fort George and cousin of Captains James and Richard Barron'. But I think he was nephew to Captian Samuel Barron's two daughters. If Lummie is correct our William Roe Cunningham's father, William Cunningham would of had to of had a sister and she would of had to be married to Captain Samuel Barron. I think that if' Willaim Roe Cunningahm and James Barron were cousin, James Barron would of stated that in the letter that he wrote certifying Willaim Roe Cunningham as a pilot in the Virginia State Navy (see letter below). William Roe Cunningham was James Barron sister's nephew and that is why Barron was well acquainted with William.
* Letter of James Barron. This will certify that I was well acquainted with Mr. William Cunningham, Pilot in the Virginia State Navy during the Revolutionary War, as Pilot on board several state vessels, and that he was employed in conducting the French ships of war during the whole period that they remained in the service of the United States, more than three years, and was reputed as an officer of worth and patriotism. Signed, James Barron. *******************************************************************************
