Sarah Fellows/Fellers (1829-1921) was the second child of Jonathan and Margaret Slagle Fellows. Jonathan and Margaret were married in Augusta County Virginia on January 8, 1822. In May of that same year they sold 60 acres along the South River and moved to a farm on the Little North Mountain (Shenandoah County). In 1833, they sold that farm and moved to Ross County Ohio and to Whitley County Indiana ten years later.
Sarah married school teacher Martin Ireland (1821-1904) in Whitley County, Indiana on September 22, 1847. Within two years, the couple were in Cincinnati, Ohio where Martin began the study of Medicine. He completed his medical education in Cleveland and conducted medical practices in Fayette County, Ohio, then back in Columbia City and in Nokomis, Illinois, before returning once again to Columbia City.
Sarah and Martin Ireland were the parents of nine children: Augusta V., Arabelle America, Clara V., Wooster M., Franklin S., John M., Sarah J., Merritte W. and Homer A. Their second child Arabella America Ireland, married James E Dorland (1850-1895). This couple are the great grandparents of this contributor.
Sarah Ireland would live beyond ninety years and die in Chicago, a "mighty inland city yet unsurvey'd and unsuspected" (Whitman) in the year of Sarah's birth.
Sarah and Martin Ireland are buried in the Masonic section of Greenhill Cemetery( GH-Masonic Sec 2-6-27-1 & 2). The well-kept graves of Martin and Sarah Ireland lie under a large IRELAND headstone, and were visited in June 2006 by great-great grandsons, David and Richard.

DRUMMED IN THE REVOLUTION, GRANDDAD GEORGE

(copyright 2010)
Drummed in the Revolution, granddad George.
Moved west from Shenandoah, left the clan.
In Ohio, parents for her, did forge,
A new start, far from slavery's grasping hand.
Soon, Sarah met her Martin, young man, sure
And confident, he's bound to make a name.
Become a doctor and entrepreneur.
Spent time between the sick and money's game.
Nine children and a household in her care,
While Martin in the wider world would go.
Buried Martin bucolic. She died where?
A town younger than Sarah: Chicago.
Ancestors entitled to be fated.
Living in a world they first created.
