Born at Ballymil in County Waterford, he was the son of Pierce Barron and his wife Anna, only daughter of Henry Winston.[2] His younger brother was the bishop Edward Barron.[3] Barron was educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[4]

He entered the British House of Commons for Waterford City in 1832, however he lost his seat in the general election of 1841.[5] In October of the same year, he was created a baronet, of Bellevue, in the County of Kilkenny.[6] A year later, both representatives for the constituency were unseated and Barron was returned to parliament until 1847.[5] He was re-elected in 1848, sitting for the next four years.[5] Barron was again successful in the general election of 1865 and represented Waterford City until 1868.[5] Although he won the constituency's by-election in the following year, the result was declared void because of bribery in 1870.[5] Barron served as High Sheriff of County Waterford for 1858[7] and also as a justice of the peace and a deputy lieutenant of the county.[2]
