Jasper Newton Barron was born on 26 February 1826 most likely in Surry County, NC, to Jonathan Barron and Susannah Barron (née Phifer). On 20 October 1853, he married Cynthia or Cyntha Johnson in Yadkin County. They lived on a farm in Yadkin until her death on 17 May 1858. She was buried in the Zion Baptist Church Cemetery, Union Grove Township, Iredell County, NC. (Her burial marker uses the spelling “Cyntha”; the marriage record uses the spelling “Cynthia”.)
On 21 September 1858 in Yadkin County, NC, Barron married Elizabeth Caroline Johnson, a younger sister to his first wife. They lived on the Yadkin County farm. He and his brother-in-law Andrew Trivett enlisted on 01 December 1863 in Captain Allen’s Company, Salisbury Confederate Prison Guards, in Salisbury, NC. This unit was more formally known as Company B, 26th Battalion, North Carolina State Troops.
There are no further service records for Barron with the Salisbury Confederate Prison Guards unit beyond the date of his enlistment. However, he appeared in military records as having enlisted on 30 July 1864 in Company K, 38th Regiment, NC State Troops (Infantry) at Camp Holmes, near Raleigh, NC. This record noted that he was under arrest. He appeared on that unit’s records as having deserted near Petersburg, VA, on 19 September 1864. He appeared in City Point, Virginia, as a “rebel deserter” on that same day and signed the Oath of Allegiance. That Oath identified him as from Yadkin County, 6-feet-1-inch tall, and having dark complexion, dark hair, and black eyes. Thereafter, he was transported to Washington, DC, and finally to Cincinnati, Ohio. There is no further record beyond that transport.
On his return to North Carolina, he and his second wife continued to live on a Yadkin County farm until his death on 27 December 1907. He is buried in the Zion Baptist Church Cemetery with his first wife. His widow applied for a Confederate Veteran’s pension on 02 July 1917. That pension stated that he had enlisted on 01 May 1862 in Company I, 28th Regiment, NC State Troops. No record has been found to support this claim. The pension application was approved. She survived until 26 December 1919 and is buried beside her husband.
