Bardon (Barden) Family from Wexford

My husband's, Jeb Bardon, family is originally from Wexford, Ireland.Richard Bardon emigrated from Ireland and settled in Maysville KY.I do believe he was a cobbler, but was brought into a settlement deal up in Superior Wis.He had four daughters and three sons.The girls were school teachers and operators of the Superior times newspaper.Active in the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. The boys, Thomas-moved to Ashland (KY?).John and James were big businessmen and well as politician, newspapermen, banker, and humanitarian of the native americans.There is a street, mountain peak, museum, park, named after the Bardons.There is an article in the Duluth Blues Tribune, August 10th 2008 on the Bardon's.Some of the information may not be exactly accurate to what my husband has been told.My husband's father was John Bardon born in Clinton, IN. Richard Bardon was my husband's great-great grandfather (I could be off a great).We now live in Indianapolis, IN.We welcome any information about our family history.
