Stacy, the only thing I got about Irby was that it was very possible that he was a brother to my Richard. This was based on info. that one lady had that said there was either one or two boys missing on the family list and the age was right in line with Richard's birth. Also, Irby lived next door to Richard and his family on the 1860 census. I believe they were related but can't find out just how. Irby was in the Civil War and I believe he survived and he and his wife had a daughter but I can't find out anything more.
Be glad to try to work with you on this, it seems I can't find anyone that will give me any tips or clues. I know lots of people don't want to give up any of their hard earned info. but my age is catching up with me and I now believe that I will just have to wait until I meet my family on the other side.
Regards,
Wanda
