Freeman B Irby's slaves

julievucina — 2012-05-19 15:27:58Z

Morning, I am researching my husbands African-American line. I am stopped at the slave schedules of Freeman B Irby. We have Jennie Irby born 1827, and son Barber with wife Lucy. Was wondering if these names have shown up in any of your records.

My gg g/p were Martha Jane (Irby) and James Buchannon
Rennaker from Mo.. I could'nt find much about her including any pictures. Her folks also came from Laurens County, S.C.. I could not find anything about Amanda Jane in my records on the Irbys but there must be a close connection between her and Martha Jane. I did finally find Martha Jane's daughter (Etta Mae - my Grandmother) after 25 years and now pretty much have quit looking further. If I do run across anything on Amanda Jane, I will get it to you. Good Luck; Darryl

If you know more about this person please reply here instead of contacting me because this is most likely not my family.

Sue Kate Irby

katiepack_1 — 2012-01-09 20:20:15Z

I recently came across a baby book for Sue Kate Irby in Dallas, TX.
She was born July 15, 1922. Her parents are listed as Kathrina Irby and T C Irby, Jr. The book includes lots of names and a few pictures.

I hated to see this piece of memorabilia go to waste. I hope to reunite it to her family. If you can help me, please let me know.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

malindapoindexter — 2011-09-12 16:16:51Z

Hi everyone...sorry this took so long. I have spoken with a Mr. Ron Irby who is not only the caretaker of New Bethel Cemetery, but a descendent of John Stewart Irby and owner of the cemetery. He spends the weekends in Energy close to the old home place. I specifically asked him about John and his wife and told him of the confusion with the U.S. government's accounting of where John and his wife are buried. He says the government is wrong, that John and wife have always been at New Bethel. The new tombstones were issued from the government to mark John's service in the War of 1812 and put on their graves in the last ten years by the family. (I'm assuming thats the family still living in Energy)
My brother went to all the cemeteries in Savoy, both black and white and could find no John Stewart Irby. I hope this helps. Sorry for the delay.

Re: does anyone know where the irby name comes from?? is it irish, english or what

colorofchrome72 — 2011-09-12 16:02:27Z

Irby is the name of a small Irish township. It was common when people came to the U.S. back then to use the name of the town they were from, or in some cases of course the town had been named for the family. Hope this helps.

Re: Leo Irby - Missouri/California

marie19321 — 2011-08-14 19:33:46Z

Hi Carl;

I found Leo's youngest daughter with a posting of an article she wrote about her dad and several picturs.

Carol Bevans- Irby is quite an accomplished writer. Her article on the Shroud of Turan is very good.

I clicked on to view an article of her dad and found that her mother had died in October of 1999 along with a picture and found her name was Estelle Irby with her death date. Her daughter Bernice Lenore my school friend had died in August of 1999.

Would like to be able to contact Carole but haven't found out how to do that yet. Carole has written several religious articles. If you figure it out let me know.

Hope you vaction for the harvest in Colorado went well.

Marie

kcapestro — 2011-08-14 06:03:56Z

Hi there,
I am the great-grand daughter of Leo Irby. His wife and daughter, Bernice Irby Capestro, were living in California but both passed away about 10 years ago. However, there are a number of Irby decendants living in California. Yes, he was a great escape artist. We have a video of him performing with Houdini's equipment.

I'm sure others have replied at this point, but thought I would email just in case.

Hi Susan

My 2nd great grandfather was John A. Irby. He had a sister named Catherine Irby. Their parents were Randal and Elizabeth Irby. I believe this is the same Catherine you are referring to.

Do you know if it is?

I have an Effie Irby in my family line. Her parents were John A. Irby "Gus" and Martha Jane Irby from Jefferson County Georgia. Do you know if this is the same Effie you are looking for?

Re: Irby's in of Halifax Co, VA.

pboren8 — 2011-07-27 23:45:43Z

We've talked but thought a post for all to see is worthwhile. My ancestor from Greene County Missouri is John S Irby, a mason from VA born about 1815 (varies slightly in each census). Pretty sure this is John Saunders Irby -- papers for military enrollment show John S Irby, mason, from Halifax VA. Described as having black hair and black eyes, which fits the photo you sent of John Saunders Irby.

Phew, love it when something connects!

malindapoindexter — 2011-07-23 15:18:37Z

My brother just called from New Prospect Baptist Cemetery on Highway 11 in Savoy, Mississippi and reports there are no Irbys buried in this cemetery. He also says there was a picture of an African-American man on a tombstone so could be an African American Cemetery and Church. I will check out the history of both New Bethel in Energy and New Prospect in Savoy next week at LCDAH. Hope this helps.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

malindapoindexter — 2011-07-22 21:45:57Z

Absolutely. I do have pictures of the wooden mausoleum where they are housed as well.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

Bellesou — 2011-07-22 15:12:49Z

Thanks; can I send you a separate contact with my email addresses for you to email the pictures. They may be similar to what Sandra posted on Find a Grave but I would like to see them anyway.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

malindapoindexter — 2011-07-21 16:25:34Z

I will let you know asap.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

malindapoindexter — 2011-07-21 16:24:26Z

Louise and I were great friends and collaborated on my side of the Irbys. The wooden mausoleum you speak of is at New Hebron Church cemetery outside Energy. There are two new tombstones with John Stewart and Wife. I was there last weekend and have those pictures. The stones are US government replacement stones and relatively new. Sandraperry says US GOV has John Stewart listed as buried at New Prospect Baptist Church in Savoy. I will let you know. If you want the pics from Energy, will be glad to send.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

malindapoindexter — 2011-07-21 16:20:49Z

Will post whatever I find from Savoy on the message board. I won't be in Meridian until next weekend (30th) so it will be Monday before I can get it here. Pictures will have to be by email. We can talk after I go next week. Thanks

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

Bellesou — 2011-07-21 09:56:31Z

thanks for your message. i found the ones that sandra posted to find a grave. however, i am also interested in what you find from your further investigation. will you post it on this board? btw, i'm not very tech savvy either so i understand about not being able to download the pics from your phone.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

Bellesou — 2011-07-21 09:54:28Z

thanks, I found them. However, I am interested in further information if you or malinda find anything. louise stratton, who did so much research on this family, died; but her research has been donated to a couple of genealogical societies. MJFickle told me that Louise had a picture of a shelter where J S was buried. Perhaps it was the same one you have. Thanks for your reply to my message.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

sandraperry — 2011-07-21 04:06:07Z

Hi, I posted them on findagrave.com if you want to get them from there or I can also send them by email.
And Malinda, thanks again for checking on the other cemetery.
Sandra

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

malindapoindexter — 2011-07-20 23:43:16Z

I can email you them from my phone. Sorry I am not more tech savvy. I can't get them off the phone other than by email. Are you interested in the photos from New Bethel? or do you want to wait until I investigate New Prospect church in Savoy? I will be going back to Meridian the weekend after this coming one.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

Bellesou — 2011-07-20 23:22:44Z

Would you be willing to post the pictures or email them to me individually? I am descended from his son Zachariah and his son Silas Jackson Irby.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

malindapoindexter — 2011-07-19 18:54:05Z

I don't know exactly where that is but I can find it I feel sure. Is that where John Stewart and wife are supposed to be buried? I have printed it off and will ask at LCDAH when I go back in two weeks. I will also double check on New Bethel. I descend from John and Martha Irby through my mother. I don't think I have anything on John Williams but I will look and get back to you. Maybe we can get this thing sorted out. Did you by any chance call the number of Roy Irby on the fence at New Bethel. I assume he is the caretaker. Wonder would he know. My brother is going this weekend. I'll get the number and call.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

sandraperry — 2011-07-18 23:56:48Z

Thank you very much. Do you know where the NEW PROSPECT BAPT Cemetery HWY 11 S SAVOY MERIDIAN, MS 39301 is? Perhaps you could check their records next time you are in Meridian. I am researching John Williams, brother to Martha Rollins Williams Irby. Do you have any info on John Williams?
Thanks again

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

malindapoindexter — 2011-07-18 18:07:48Z

That I don't know. I descend from him and am in Meridian on a regular basis to care for my mother. I will check with the Lauderdale County Department of Archives and History. They usually have church histories which could shed some light. I will keep you posted on what I learn in the next couple of weeks.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

sandraperry — 2011-07-18 04:53:25Z

Hi, thanks for the response, I have been there also and seen the wooden building and the new stones that have been added in recent years. My concern is why the government has them listed as being buried in a different cemetery. Were the markers put at New Bethel because he is thought to be there or are there records proving he is there and the government records are incorrect.

Re: John Stewart Irby 1794 - 1878

malindapoindexter — 2011-07-17 22:44:30Z

My mother and I went yesterday to Energy, Mississippi in Clarke County. I asked a man in town where New Bethel Church was and he gave me directions. The church which is no longer in use and has no sign is probably 7-10 miles from energy. John Stewart Irby and his wife are buried in a wooden mausoleum in the cemetery there along with lots of other Irbys. I have pictures on my phone.

Can you tell me if you have any info. about Richard at all?
Also, do you have Bryant Thompson from McMinn, in your line?
I have a genealogist in Tennessee trying to help me with all these names and if she find anything, I will be happy to share with you.
She and I believe that Irby , Richard and Bryant are related. We are still searching for the father of Richard and Bryant.

Mark, I would love to have the info. Right now, I am having trouble getting my emails. My computer went out and I am using my son in laws and having lots of trouble trying to get use to it.

When he comes and fixes my email, I will contact you for the info..

Do you show having Bryant Thompson in your Thompson line and is he associated with Irby,Yearby,Earby in any way?
Thank you.'

Re: Irby/Thompson Connection

genezonwingz62 — 2011-07-02 01:27:13Z

Actually, yes, I have seen this. I have not proved the connection, however, I believe it is a nephew or brother, maybe even a cousin to Yerby/Irby Thompson.

Re: Irby/Thompson Connection

markt2071 — 2011-05-30 13:29:20Z

Well, I did see it after all :).

I don't think this Irby and mine are the same because mine was born around 1808 (from my faded memory) in Knoxville. Thus, my Irby would have been about 52 in 1860. However, it seems highly likely the two are related in some way, perhaps father/son. I will have to check to remember all of Irby's sons names. If you want, I can give you what information I have and you can see where it meshes with yours. Email markt207@hotmail.com. God bless.
Mark Thompson

Re: Irby/Thompson Connection

snakehere — 2011-05-29 19:23:46Z

You will probably never see this but I have to ask.
Was one of Yerby/Irby/Erby's sons named Richard and was he born about 1825 or 1826?

In the 1860 Census of Bradley Co,Tn. , living next door to a Richard Thompson is Irby W. thompson and wife Mary Polly whose maiden name was Seaborn.
