Marilyn, I'm not sure that there are records specific to Irondale. But I can tell you that in 1871 Irondale was a company town, mostly owned by Morgan and Hunter which produced "pig iron, puddling, and rails". The 1871 Atlas of Jeff. Co. shows maybe 10% to be owned privately, the rest by the company. No Robinsons are listed for the town, or the township it's in, Saline Twp., but the atlas only lists landowners. You might try writing Sandy Day at the Schiappa Branch Library in Steubenville. You can find out more at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohjefogs/collection.htm Good luck!
