Hi - I'd like to help but wonder where (what county) Redwood is in? Have you checked the 1870 census for him and his family? Have you tried to contact the genealogical society in the county you found him in 1860?

Milton Irish served in the Battle for Texas Independance and was one of the few who escaped from the Battle of Goliad in 1836. He had a wife named Emily in Center, Texas. He has 2 land grants (later sold) given to him for service in the Texas Revolution. He moved to California to make his fortune in the gold rush. He is listed on the 1860 census from Redwood, CA. The family is searching for his gravestone and any decendants from a life in California. Royce Jackson
