Please help! Has anyone ever heard of a community that existed around 1860 called the IRISH WILDERNESS? According to my ancestor's obituary he lived in the Irish Wilderness in Ripley County before the Civil War. Jerry

Also, be sure and check out the Ripley County Missouri web site for a lot of great information on Ripley County.
