Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Martin Van Buren Barron was born 10 Apr 1834, NH; died 28 Jul 1891, Eau Claire, WI.

    Notes:

    Information on Caroline's husband came from T. Dowling's family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect. According to the data there, Van & Caroline had 7 children; 4 died young.

    The above-mentioned tree also gives Van's parents as Fletcher Johnston Barron of Orange Co., VT; and Mary Horton of Providence, RI.

    My notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1860, V. B. Barron 25 and Caroline Barron 23 are living at Alma, Allegany Co., NY. They have an infant daughter, Mary J. 6 mo. They are near Caroline's married sister Aurelia Southmayd and husband; also brother Allen 43.

    In the Federal Census of 1870, Van Barron 36 NH, Caroline Barron 34 NY, and their year-old twins Carrie & Cora are living at Eau Claire, WI. Also with them are: Nellie Wall or Nall 10 (b Norway, attends school), & Olice Corn 21 (domestic help).

    In 1880 the family is still at Eau Claire: Van Buren Barron 46, Caroline 43, Carrie 11, Cora 11, & John 8. Van Buren is a lumberman.

    Martin married Caroline A. Wightman 22 Jan 1859, NY. Caroline (daughter of Allen Wightman and Amanda V. Unknown) was born 26 Feb 1836, Allegany Co., NY; died 7 Apr 1918, Eau Claire Co., WI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Caroline A. Wightman was born 26 Feb 1836, Allegany Co., NY (daughter of Allen Wightman and Amanda V. Unknown); died 7 Apr 1918, Eau Claire Co., WI.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1900, Caroline A. Barron is a widow age 64, living on Farwell St. in Eau Claire, WI. Whit her are three of her children: John 28, Caroline 31, and Cora 31.

    Children:
    1. 1. Caroline "Carrie" Barron was born 3 Jun 1869, WI.
    2. Cora Barron was born 3 Jun 1869, WI.
    3. John E. Barron was born 11 Apr 1872, WI.


Generation: 3

  1. 6.  Allen Wightman was born 9 Oct 1805, Onondaga Co., NY (son of Aurunah Wightman and Rhoda Unknown); died 25 Jan 1879, Allegany Co., NY; was buried , Allentown Cemetery, Alma, Allegany Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1850, the Wightman family is living at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY: Allen 45 NY (lumberman), Amanda V. 33 RI, Aurelia 16 NY, Samuel 12 NY, Josephine 10 NY, Allen 7 NY, & Caroline A. 4 NY; also Isaac D. Smith 33 NY.

    In the Federal Census of 1860, Allen Wightman 54 NY is listed at Half Moon (Villiage of Eau Claire City), Eau Claire Co., WI. He is working as a blacksmith, apparently staying at a hotel. Two of his married daughters later moved to Eau Claire Co., WI.

    In the Federal Census of 1870, Allen 69 and his son Allen Jr. 27 are living at Alma, Allegany Co., NY. No other family members are listed with them. Allen Sr. works in a shingle mill, and Allen Jr. is a farmer.

    The online cemetery information says Allen was born in Onondaga Co., NY, and died in Allegany Co., NY.

    The 1820 Federal Census lists Arannah Wightman in Onondaga Co., NY. I believe this must be Allen's father, based on his birth location; this agrees with two online family trees (but needs more research to confirm). His name (Arannah or Aurunah) may be written as Aaron in two censuses; the 1830 census shows Aaron Wightman age 60 - 70 at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY; the 1840 census shows A. Wightman age 70 - 80 at Wirt, Allegany Co., NY.

    In Wellsville, Allegany Co,, NY, there is a Wightman Road, off Rt. 417. No doubt it is named for Allen's family or extended family.

    Allen married Amanda V. Unknown Abt 1833. Amanda was born May 1812, RI or MA; died 4 Sep 1901, Providence Co., RI; was buried , Mineral Springs Cemetery, Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 7.  Amanda V. Unknown was born May 1812, RI or MA; died 4 Sep 1901, Providence Co., RI; was buried , Mineral Springs Cemetery, Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI.

    Notes:

    I believe this is Amanda's death information from the RI Cemetery Database:
    PARKER AMANDA V 1812 - 4 SEP 1901 PW001 (Mineral Springs Cemetery)

    It seems that Amanda must have left her first husband Allen in NY State and returned to her home state, where she remarried to Thomas W. Parker and had a son with him (this needs more research to confirm the particulars).

    In the Federal Census of 1850, she is Amanda V. Wightman 33 RI, living with Allen and family at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY.

    In the Federal Census of 1880, she appears to be Amanda Parker 59 RI, wife of Thomas W. Parker 48 CT, living at Lincoln, Providence Co., RI.

    In the Federal Census of 1900, she is Amanda Parker 88 MA, mother, living with son Samuel Wightman and family at Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI.

    The cemetery data shows that she died the following year.

    Children:
    1. Aurelia H. Wightman was born 1 Mar 1834, Allegany Co., NY; died 24 Nov 1894, Eau Claire Co., WI; was buried , Lakeview Cemetery, Eau Claire, WI.

    Notes:

    His name is sometimes written as Arannah or Aaron in the census records at Onondaga and Allegany Counties, NY.

    The 1820 Federal Census at Marcellus, Onondaga Co., NY lists the following Wightmans: Allen & Arannah. It appears that Allen is age 26 - 45 yrs, and Arannah is 45+.

    The 1830 Federal Census at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY, lists the following Wightmans: Simon, Aaron, E.H.

    The 1840 Federal Census at Wirt, Allegany Co., NY, list the following Wightmans: A., E.H., S., & L.
