Who does Hattie Irons descend from?

Question

Harriett Marion "Hattie" Irons (Irons-222) and Charles Samuel Robbins (Robbins-3079) married in Neola, Pottawattamie, Iowa, USA (which is documented in a source of their marriage). They had 5 children that are documented (which all appear in an article regarding their death in Grand Junction, Colorado in 1929). They are my 3rd great grandparents from my mother's biological mother. I have very few sources as to who Hattie's parents were.

Ancestry trees list her father as Washington Irons (born approximately in 1834 in New York). I cannot find census records that show Hattie before 1900 (where she appears in Iowa with her husband and 5 children). The record states she was born in Ohio (ancestry trees state Huron, Erie, Ohio).

A Washington Irons with the father Ruel Irons appear in the 1850 Census in Huron, Erie, Ohio. I cannot find either later in that area nor a record of Hattie in that area.

Any help in pointing to promising sources would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

This is the closest that I found

"United States Census, 1870," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M6GS-6J9 : accessed 8 December 2014), Hattie N Irons in household of Nicholas E Irons, Ohio, United States; citing p. 36, family 263, NARA microfilm publication M593, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington D.C.; FHL microfilm 552,776.

And that record has the parents listed as

Nicholas E Irons		M	36	Ohio
Sarah E Irons		F	31	Ohio

I hope this helps
