Migration of the labaron family to the New World and Oceana
Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in
England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in
England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name labaron, or a variant listed above: Barbe
Baron who arrived in Quebec in 1667; Humerton
Baron who settled in Jamaica in 1689; Ann
Baron who arrived in South Carolina in 1788; Alex
Baron who arrived in New Orleans in 1820.
