Obituary of George Baron from The New-York Weekly Museum, Saturday  June 20, 1812.

DIED,

On Thursday morning, suddenly, in the 43rd year of his age, Mr. GEORGE BARRON  [[ sic ]], an eminent teacher of mathematics in this city. In this sublime and useful science Mr. Barron certainly stood pre-eminent --- and it is but justice to the deceased to say, that his enlarged understanding was happily equalled by his success in communicating the result of the most abstruse researches. The theoretical scholar will long quote Barron as a precedent, and the grateful Seaman, who learned from him to traverse the trackless ocean, will speak his praises on the most distant shores.

Thus we can conclude that Baron died on 18 June 1818.

Thanks to Professor Thomas N. Baker, Department of History, SUNY Potsdam for calling my attention to this reference.
