[2050] This child appears in only one census, the 1870 census in which he was 9 years old. That age would mean he was born after the 1860 census. In an interview with Silas Oliphant (his brother) in 1939, he says the youngest son of Presley died when he was 14 years old. If this refers to Irra, it would explain why he didn't appear in the 1880 census or any later census records.
