Have not been able to find any connection between Nelson Irons and Rev. Jeremiah Irons who preached in Rehoboth in the 1790's. It seems to make sense that Morris T. Irons was the son of either Elisha Irons or of Jeremiah and Barbery (Tucker) Irons. I lean toward the later since is estimated age from census records would make him perfect to have been born a year or two after the last of their recorded children. Of course, the middle initial T. could easily be for Tucker and since I have never found another Morris anywhere in any of the RI Irons families and the Tucker family Barbery came from was filled with Morris.......well-l-l! All circumstantial as you said. Just wish I could find real proof out there somewhere. By the way, I am also at a dead end with Deborah Arnold.....can't find where she fits in to any of the Arnold lines around the state. Can you lend any help or theories with Deborah? Helen
