Irish Family
Quick Overview || Documentation || Links
Introduction
Charles Irish is most likely a descendant of John Irish (who emigrated to Duxbury, Massachusetts prior to 1630), but it has so far not proved possible to place him in a family with any certainty. He was probably born in Columbia County, New York, but was living in Middlefield, Otsego County, New York in the 1820 and 1830 census.
Esther Irish, born about 1792 in Columbia County, New York, was almost undoubtedly his sister. She married Royal Barlow and settled in Monroe County, New York. Charles Irish also lived in Monroe County for a while, and he named one of his sons Royal Barlow Irish.
My thanks to Abby Omans Lutz and Kent Barlow for information on the Barlow family. Kent also located Charles Irish's daughter "Roxey Nichols in Wisconsin" for me.
I am also deeply grateful to the volunteers at the Orleans County, New York, GenWeb Page without whose generosity I might not have discovered Edwin Adelbert Irish's father, thus breaking halfway through my biggest brickwall.
