According to John Davis Garrard, William was living with Henry when "he died in Nov., 1848, being 81 years and 5 or 6 months old... I saw him frequently until I was near 21 years of age. I was present at his death and burial. Was the only one besides his wife who witnessed his death, as he died very suddenly, although complaining of hurting in his breast all the forepart of the day. I had gone on a visit to see him from Newton County presuming that I would not have the opportunity to visit him any more." [Source: 18 August 1892 letter to J.D. Barron]. Garrard described William's teeth in his old age as being "all perfect and as white clean and pretty as a child's could be at three or four years of age." [Source: "The Barron Family of Warren County, Georgia, and Descendants"]. Mrs. Margaret Etheredge, a descendant of William's son, Henry, wrote, "In 1848 he (William) died at the home of his son, Henry, who lived on Lot No. 169 near Old Bethel Church. He is buried in a pasture on this lot. [Source: History of Butts County, Georgia, p. 287].
He was a Revolutionary War Soldier.

In the Butts County History Book according to the Genealogical Society,
Mrs. Margaret Etheredge states that William Barron, Jr. was the first member of his family to move to Butts Co. She also says he was buried in the pasture on land lot number 169, where the home of his son, Henry Barron was located.
Several members of the Genealogical Society have tried in Vain to locate this grave.
I am including this information here as it has been previously documented as a Burial site.
