Notes

The name Sarah Irish appears on death certificate of two of her children, Hiram and Edna and also appears on Marriage Record of Edna. Hiram's brother also married an Irish female.

In 1855 Oakland County land records show that Sarah Maxfield transferred land to Liberty Irish (son of David). The document is in the name of Sarah Maxfield, but also has Hiram Maxfields signature and the signature of Polly Malinda Irish (apparently daughter of David) Book 55 page 338-9. This is the entry right after book 55 page 337-8 dated 10 June 1855 whereby Varnis Maxfield quit claimed to Manly Irish (son of David). Book 55 page 339-40 involves Liberty and Damon Irish transferring to Manly Irish. As David died 8 Jan 1855 these transfers may have had something to do with the settling of David's estate. Which could imply that Sarah Maxfield is an heir to David Irish.

The 1820 cenus shows David Irish with one female in the household under the age of 10. The 1820 census shows 1 female in the household between the age of 10 and 15. We do not know of any female children in that age range other than Sarah.

On the 1840 Federal Census the household next to David Irish is Hiram Maxfield and Sarah Irish, which suggests a relation between David and Sarah.
