Research Note

Words of Caution: #The family search source has Alexander's surname misread as Triland. If you look closely at the marriage record cited above it is clearly Ireland.

  1. John Ireland's age at death is incorrect. Look at the record and the bottom of the 6 in 61 is missing. He was 61 yr, 10 mo, 17 da old and the the consort of Amy. Amy Joseph was his second wife as cited above.
