Comments by FaG contributor Dan Ireland:
The Bible record of William Ireland is found in Atlantic County Historical Society Family Records, vol 18, pp. 42-47 bearing photocopies of the original records. In a beautiful hand, no doubt Sarah's, under Births:" William Ireland the son of Daniel Ireland & Mary his wife was born February 20th A.D. 1793. Sarah Ireland the Daughter of John Ware & Mary his wife was born August 4th A.D. 1795." All nine children follow. Under marriages (same beautiful handwriting): "William Ireland & Sarah Ware were married by the Revd. Andrew Ware April 26th A.D. 1815." So this clearly shows her birth date and parents. Also suggests where some have may have gotten Andrew Ware as her father. The Bible passed to son Josiah, his son Irvin and his son Irvin, Jr. Last entry in 1974.
