Listers, I have reason to suspect that my great great grandfather John F IRONS may have had a brother named Orlando IRONS, who was born in 1809 (probably in Central NY) and who died 20 January 1876 and was buried in Christ Church Cemetery, Sherburne, Chenango County, NY. If you have any information on the parents or siblings of this Orlando, I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you. Here's what I have on his children and grandchildren (there may be more not known to me) and their spouses: --------------------------------------------------------------- DESCENDANTS OF: ORLANDO IRONS 1 2 3 * ORLANDO IRONS b. 1809 d. 20-JAN-1876 m.
