3. A description of the town of Ira in Cayuga County, New York, from the Gazetteer and Business Directory of Cayuga County, N.Y., for 1867-8, compiled and published by Hamilton Child. ...
IRA was fomed from Cato, march 16, 1821, and a part re-annexed to that town in 1824. It is located on the east border of the county, north of he centre. The streams are creeks and small brooks, and the surface is rolling, the summits of the ridges rising 70 to 75 feet above the valleys, and 225 to 275 feet above the level of Lake Ontario. Red sandstone underlies the soil, which is a very productive sandy loam.
Ira centre, (Ira p.o.) the only village, contains 2 churches and about 130 inhabitants.
The first settlements were made by David, Eleazur and Andrew Stockwell, three brothers, from Whitehall, who settled on lot 58; Wm. Patterson, on lot 32, and Henry Conrad, (a German,) on the same lot, all in 1805. Among others who were early settled in this town we may mention Daniel parker, on lot 69, John C. Barnes and Rev. Silas Barnes, on lot 70, and Zadoc Barnes, on lot 83, all from marcellus, and Edward Wood from Sennett, on lot 89, in 1802; Archibald and Charles Green, on lot 70, in 1803; Eli mattison and Abraham Willey, from Connecticut, on lot 34; Henry Ferris and his son Augustus, from Saratoga county, on lot 72, in 1804; and Thomas Barnes, from Washington County, at Ira Corners, in 1805. Dr. Squire, the first physician, taught the first school, in 1805; David Stockwell kept the first inn, in 1800; Samuel and Israel Phelps the first store, at Ira Corners, in 1813, and John Hooker erected the first grist mill, in 1818. The first child born was Polly, daughter of David Stockwell, in April 1802; the first marriage was that of Eleazur Stockwell and Margaret Noble, March 7, 1802, and the first death that of the wife of Rev. Silas Barnes, in 1802. The first church (Cong.) was formed at Ira Corners, July 7, 1807, by Rev. Francis Pomeroy. Rev. Silas Barnes was the first preacher.
The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 21,902 acres.
