Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All

  • Name Ira S. SEARS  [1] 
    Birth 29 Dec 1810  Oswego, Oswego, NY Find all individuals with events at this location  [1] 
    Gender Male 
    Census 4 Aug 1860  Milan, Sullivan, MO Find all individuals with events at this location  [2] 
    • 1860 census at Milan, Sullivan, MO shows Ira Sears, 49, farmer, b. NY; Amanda M., 43, b. OH; Alonzo, 21, farm hand, b. KY; remaining children bl MO: Julia, 18; William, 16; Laura, 14; Arthur A., 12; Oscar, 10; Mary, 8; Ira, Jr., 4; Amanda 9/12.
    Census 21 Jun 1880  Polk Township, Sullivan, MO Find all individuals with events at this location  [3] 
    • 1880 census at Polk Township, Sullivan, MO shows Ira Sears, 69, farmer, b. NY, parents b. MA/VT; Amanda, 62, b. OH, parents b. NJ/KY; children b. MO: Ira, 23; Amanda Copeland, 20, lives at home.
      Note: "Phils File" source gives a second marriage date for Amanda as Jun 16, 1880, the census was taken on June 21, 1880 and shows Amanda with him. The instructions for the census ask that all persons living in the household on June 1 be enumerated. It is possible that on June 1 Amanda was living with Ira but that by June 24 she had been married and moved away. I thought the listing under occupation "lives at home" was a little odd, perhaps this explains it. On enumeration date June 22 in the same township, James Quigley is shown living with his brother Jonathon.
