Migration of the Lebaron family to the New World and Oceana
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from
England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Lebaron family emigrate to North America: 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.
