The son of Samuel Poor, Ira Poor married Aug. 1, 1826 Sally, daughter of Ephraim and Hannah (Cushman) Upham, who was born in Montague, Mass., Feb. 3, 1806. Her mother died when she was a young child and her father removed to Bow where she was brought up. We understand that Ephraim the father was born in Newton, Mass., in 1778, and Hannah the mother born in Greenfield, Mass., in 1771. They resided in Hooksett, N. H., about four years, then removed to Providence, R. I., when there he was superintendent of the Blackstone Canal two or three years.
Ira Poor left his family about 1842 and went to Texas, where he married another woman, Eliza Dyer, Apr. 14, 1837 by whom he had several children, some of whom died in infancy. We give the names of two born in San Antonio, Texas, viz.: David L. Morrill, perhaps resides in Texas; Fred B. Stark, who deceased young. He at one time it is said to have owned a plantation with eight or nine slaves. After his death his wife married Alanson Wood, in Henniker, N.H., with whom she lived about a dozen years; he died and she in 1879 resides in Bow, N. H.
