  Death	Aft 30 Jan 1660/61
  Notes	From Thayer and Burton Ancestry, p. 56: MATTHEW IRONS, one of the early settlers of New England, came to this country about 1630, and was admitted to the Boston church, April 20, 1634. He was at that time in the employ of William Colborn. In 1636, he was admitted freeman, but being a supporter of Wheelwright he was disarmed in 1637. He was not exiled, however, as were Wheelwright's more prominent sympathizers. In 1657, he petitioned the General Court to remit a fine of ¶5 imposed upon him "for suffering a man to be drunk and not sending for a constable as the law requires." His petition was refused. His wife was Ann ((???)). Both probably died at Boston. By his will, dated January 30, 1661, he gave his fowling piece to one son, and his musket and sword to another.
