I received a message today from someone looking for direct descendants of Governor Jared Irwin. I am one and I believe there are others on this list that descend from the marriage of his daughter, Mary Elizabeth and Simon T. Whitaker. The SAR is having a grave marking ceremony in April at his grave in Washington County, GA. and they are looking for family members of Governor Jared Irwin who would be interested in attending. The man who contacted me is descended from his brother, John Lawson Irwin who is buried beside him. If you know of living descendants of these families, please contact me off list. John Irwin Whitaker and Levicy Gay - Martha Whitaker and Columbus Sams, Elizabeth Whitaker and C. B. Nipper, Mary Jane Whitaker and Lewis H. G. Roberts, Simon T. and Seletha Virginia Travis (Bob, are you out there? - can't remember if you are direct descendant or not.......) Simon Thomas Whitaker and Nancy Stubbs. William Whitaker and Mary Elizabeth Harper. Benjamin Thomas Whitaker. Mary Elizabeth Whitaker (I don't have a marriage for her or children) Hudson Whitaker, son of Simon T. - I don't have children for him or a marriage and believe he died young. Any help appreciated!
