From the pages of Old Sparta history comes the Barron Family Legacy

From the pages of history, Old Sparta, North Carolina, comes to mind two individuals who strove to make Old Sparta what it was in its hay day, James Henry Edwards and Sarah (Sallie) Barron Edwards. Coming to reside one mile south of Old Sparta, to a small tract of farm land they came to live and served out the remainder of their adult lives. Attending Old Sparta Primitive Baptist Church until their deaths, Henry and Sallie lived to love serve and worship as dedicated members of the Primitive Baptist faith. Buried in the cemetery yard next to the church they now lay at rest in eternal peace, along with members of the family at large; to include at the present three sons, Robert Wesley Edwards, James Thigpen Edwards and Ralph Edwards.

The Barron Family Legacy

In the following pages of written history you will find information researched complied and submitted to the “Daughters of the American Revolution”, by Lida Edwards Phillips, Margaret (Peg) Barron Smith, and other family decendents. A gratitude of thanks goes for their painstaking efforts in keeping the Barron Family Legacy alive, and to Kaye B. Whaley for helping recover the lost files, the gift of my own family heritage, I had once assumed lost forever. I pray perhaps you the viewer will enjoy the discovery of some facts about your own family heritage, in my submission of the records at hand. May the Lord bless you in your search for family knowledge.
