I picked this up on Alt.genealogy - any other suggestions for the IRISH search? Is there a death index that might cover this time period? What about cemetery records? I didn't even explore the possiblity that he might show in the 1870 census as Irish MILTON with the names switched around.

Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1998 22:15:26 -0600 Sandra: Thanks for your interest in our Milton Irish search. We have tons of information on Milton Irish, up until the point in which he left Texas (1852) and went to California to seek his fortune. I have seen a copy of an 1860 census in which Milton Irish is listed and the document was from Redwood City, California. We have search the 1870 census, but there is not a mention of Milton Irish on it. We presume that he probably died during those years, as he was born 7 May, 1812. I will check with my sister-in-law next week-end about her having checked with the genealogical society in Redwood City. She is doing most of the record searching and she asked me to try the internet. Your help and suggestions are most helpful. Thank you very much. Like I said, we have a ton of Irish family history, but the later years of Milton is unknown. A grave stone would be most valuable.
