Notes - Ira was listed at age 27 in the 1930 census rccords for Akron, Ohio. He was born in West Virginia. He had been married for 2 and a half years to a Kathleen who was age 16 when they married. They had a son William who was age 1 and 11/12ths. He was employed in the Rubber Factory in the Tube Room. He was not a veteran at the time. I can find him in no other census record. The closest social security number match to him is "Ira Sampson SSN: 298-01-9445 Born: 30 Aug 1901 Died: Mar 1963 State (Year) SSN issued: Ohio (Before 1951 )". It's a very unusual name so I suspect these are one and the same person. Jim remembers that he died when he was in college at Marietta between 1963-1965 so this would still fit that memory. This record does not give where he lived at the time of his death or his birthplace. According to his daughter, Nancy, he lived many places in his lifetime. Jim said he lived in Vienna, W.VA in about 1947. He remembers meeting him once when he was of school age where he lived in Mineral Wells, W.VA. He was drafted into World War II. He was an alcohlic and a gambler. He owned a hauling business in which he owned 2 trucks in Akron, Ohio - both of which he lost through gambling.
The interesting part is that DNA evidence from descendants of Nancy absolutely indicate that either Ira Sampson was not the father of Nancy or that Ira was adopted and did not have a father or mother with the surnames of Sampson and Kirby.
