William Thomas Barron was born ca. 1782 in the area of Rock Hill, South Carolina. He was the son of Samuel Barron and grandson of Lashoma, a Catawba Indian. Indian Land Presbyterian Church of Rock Hill, South Carolina was built on land purchased from Lashoma's tribe.
On February 1, 1809, Thomas married Naomi Clark in Burke County, Georgia. Naomi was born in Georgia ca. 1794. Prior to 1811, they relocated and settled in Pike County, Mississippi.
The following children were born to the marriage of William Thomas Barron and Naomi Clark:
- William Henry, 1811-1866
- Elizabeth "Betty", 1813-1888 (m. Elisha Estess, 1816-1883)
- John, 1817-1876 (m. Betty Elizabeth Leggett, 1826-1881)
- Nancy, 1919-1919 (m. James "Jim" Johnston, 1812-1881)
- William Thomas, ca 1820-1917 (m. 1. Missouri Ann Huckabee-1831-1879; 2. Victory Butler, 1838-1888; 3. Amanda "Dida" Corkren, 1871-1956)
- Lucinda 1823-1916 (m. Ansel H. Prewitt, 1812-ca 1871)
- Naomi, 1827-1903 (m. Ira Jeremiah Cockerham, ca 1816-?) Matilda, 1830-?

- Arthur "Arch", 1835-1898 (m. Elizabeth Johnston, daughter of James by first wife)
Military Thomas served in the War of 1812 in Captain D. T. W. Cook's Mississippi Militia, Wilkinson County. He was discharged in New Orleans on March 31, 1815.
Death
Thomas Barron died when lightning struck him in Holmesville, Mississippi on August 26, 1836.
BURIAL
The year of birth is incorrect on his memorial stone and should be 1781 or 1782 per family history. The memorial stone is located on Barron land near the Old Barron Cemetery in Amite County, Mississippi. It is believed that William Thomas Barron was buried in Holmesville, Pike County, Mississippi. The older tombstones in the Holmesville cemetery were destroyed some years ago, preventing confirmation of his burial place.

I am a direct descendant of William Thomas and Naomi Clark Barron and reside in Amite County, they are my Great Great Great Grandparents.. I have taken three DNA Tests, Ancestry, Twenty Three and Me and most recently the Y DNA Test for the Barron DNA Project of which there are 199 Participants... I have been Piggy-Backed on the only known Barron of our line until my results are in.. We are Barron Clan 1... What I set out to do was prove Native American... Beyond a shadow of a doubt, 5th Great Grandmother LaShoma Barron was of the Catawba Tribe in the Rock Hill, South Carolina Area. The Mother of our Samuel and Grandmother of William Thomas Barron... My results should post on the Barron DNA Project soon." The sender, William G. Barron, Amite County, Mississippi
