    Notes:

    From: W. L. Irish - David Irish and family settled in Groveland Twp. Oakland County, Michigan in 1837. He purchased 80 acres for each of his 8 sons and 40 acres for each of his 2 daughters. One of his sons, Norman, brought a wife and three children with him to Michigan, and was killed a number of years later by a kick of a horse. Two of his sons, Damon and George, were living in the same neighborhood in 1877. Damon Irish of Groveland Twp., paid a bounty of $14 for a volunteer to serve in the Civil War in 1864. (Note: The book is in error on the relationship of George and Damon. George and Damon were his grand children, sons of Norman.)
    Oakland County real estate records show an entry for David Irish of Washington County, New York purchasing land dated 13 June 1836.
    David died intestate (with no will) in Brandon, Oakland, Michigan on 8 Jan 1855. His probate paperwork stated there were 8 heirs, although only Manley and Liberty were specifically mentioned. The probate petition ended up being dismissed when the heirs agreed among themselves on a settlement.

    Notes:

    from a gencircles web site:
    There was an article in the The Washington Post of March 10, 1808; "The wife of David IRISH of Westfield (Now Fort Ann, Washington Co. NY.)was delivered of five children, two sons and three daughters. They were alive when born, but died in a few hours. They altogether weighed seven pounds and fiveounces." Note of this event was also made in the 1810 Census of Queensbury, Warren Co. NY.

    "David Irish, with a wife and three children, was the last family listed in the 1810 census of Queenbury, Washington County, New York. At the bottom of the page, the census-taker wrote a footnote concerning David's wife as follows: 'This woman is 24 years old and has had 10 children, 5 of which were born at one and the same time.' This may be the first instance of quintuplets recorded in this country."
    Printed in National Genealogical Society Quarterly, June 1965, Vol. 53.

    The number of children caught our eye, so we looked at the family. The note is really there, and does appear to be marked for David.

    The Irish families living in Queensbury in 1810 are:
    Amos Irish
    Andrew Irish
    Benjamin Irish
    David Irish
    Jonathan Irish

    There is an extremely well presented website for the Irish family at:
    http://lthome.com/genealogy/

    We copied the following information from there:
    Benjamin Irish
    Birth , 16 Mar 1749/50 , S. Kingston, Washington, RI
    Father , Joseph Irish, b. 20 Apr 1724, S. Kingston, Washington Co., RI
    Mother , Dorcas (Irish)
    Group Sheet , F0918

    1. Andrew Irish, b. BET 1765 AND 1784
    2. David Irish, b. 23 Jan 1783
    3. Amos Irish, b. 1786, Amenia, Dutchess, NY
    4. Jonathan Irish, b. 27 Jul 1789, Warren or Washington Co., NY

    This looks like the family.

    It should be noted that though the census says that Mrs Irish had 10 kids, only 3 are living with them.

    There was also another write-up regarding these births:

    Westfield (Now Fort Ann, Washington Co. NY.)was delivered of five children, two sons and three daughters. They were alive when born , but died in a few hours. They altogether weighed seven pounds and five ounces." Note of this event was also made in the 1810 Census of Queensbury, Warren Co. NY.)
    David's wife was Sally PHELPS daughter of Norman PHELPS Sr. of Fort Ann, Washington Co. NY. born July 31, 1785 in Hebron, Tolland Co. CT. They moved to Michigan in 1837 and David & Sally were divorced on November 15, 1847.
