Hi Everyone, I just talked to a cousin the other day who claims to have our Irvin line back to "only" the 1200's in Scotland. Does anyone else have Scottish Irvins? Sandi Free web-based email, anytime, anywhere! ZDNet Mail - http://www.zdnetmail.com

Thanks for the reply Julia. I see that your James Robert is a few generation earlier. Its a nightmare with our families naming the the children in each generation with the same names in the same order. I was thinking that perhaps my James, father of my James Robert may be descended from the generations prior to your James Robert. You might look, at your convenience, for a possible line descending from one of your Johns or James prior to your James Robert. About all I know about my gggrandfather is that he was known as James Irvin or James Ervin and was married twice. One of these marriages was to an "Elizabeth". Children of his first marriage were 3 sons: James, John, and James Robert(my ggrandfather). He had several children of his second marriage possibly named Eliza and Alfred but I am not certain about the second set of children. I know that he joined the Confederacy as an older man, probablyin Homeguard Duty and died during the Civil War but I have not found any records of the Homeguards for either NC or SC. I have the Census of Haywood County showing John Ervin, brother of my ggrandfather, who was a Confederate Veteran according to the family story, and that Census of 1870 shows john as being born in SC. Apparently the family moved from SC to NC sometime between Johns birth about 1834 and Roberts birth abt 1851. We do know that my ggrandfather Robert always said he was a lot younger than his brothers. He was a child during the War and his brothers both enlisted and survived. The oldest brother, James, died sometime abt 1905 in a home for Conf. Vets in Raleigh. I have not been able as yet to find records of such a home or care facility. If I get another idea on this, I will advise and I appreciate your time in checking your mother's work--Thank you very much--Ed Erwin, Arden, NC -----Original Message----- From: Julia Christianson <juliac@patriot.net> To: IRVIN-L@rootsweb.com <IRVIN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, November 16, 1998 10:10 PM Subject: [IRVIN-L] NC/SC Ervins >Hi, Ed.

Hi, Ed. Once again, I feel that we are cousins but I can't turn up the connecting link. Some of the Ervin material is at my father-in-law's house (because there's not room in my house) but I think I'm going to have to go get it. I do have a James Robert Ervin but he's a few generations earlier -- b. 1788, d. 1836 in Montgomery County, NC. And it seems that your James Robert is not a direct descendant of his, though I'm not certain. Sounds like you have more info about your gggf James -- if you want to send me that it might help me make the connection. I do hope there is a connection because there's some really wonderful material here I never realized I had, and I'd be tickled to share it with someone who cares about it. I'll get back to you when I've had a chance to look further.

Hi, Lyn ... I think we probably are cousins but as I said most of what I have is not on the computer and I wasn't able to put a finger on your James during a quick look in the box. I did find some interesting stuff, though ... I'll keep looking for the connection ... -- Julia P.S. I never heard the one about the Indian wife, but I did hear one about the wife killing a bear when all the men were off somewhere ...

I would like to post the basics of my family in case anyone may have a link or suggestion to help me. I begin with my gggrandfather James Irvin/Ervin: 1) James Irvin/Ervin b. unknown, d. early 1860's Civil War Homeguard m. 1st Elizabeth?, m. 2nd Elizabeth? Children of first marriage: 2) James Ervin(Jr?), b. unknown, d. Home for Conf. Vets Raleigh NC abt 1905 2) John Ervin, b. abt 1834 in SC, d. unknown aft 1883-moved to Tenn-also Conf. Vet. 2) James Robert Ervin(known as Robert), b. 15 Jan 1851-53 in McDowell Co. NC. m. 1874 to Nancy Cathey in Haywood Co. NC I am descended from Robert above and the family began spelling the name as Erwin after 1900. Robert's mother died at or near his birth. His father James re-married abt 1855 and there were younger half-brothers and sisters in the family before his father joined the Homeguard and died in that part of the service. Robert listed on his marriage license in 1874 that his father was James Ervin and mother was Elizabeth(could be mother or step-mother). There is a marriage record of James Irvin to Elizabeth Jarrett in McDowell Co. NC in 1855 which could be the second marriage of his father. This home had several very young children during the Census of 1860 and I can share more details of this Census. I am trying to determine which James Irvin/Ervin of this era may have been my gggrandfather and leads to further my research. Thanks, Ed Erwin, Arden, NC

In looking over this following activity, I see what is possibily the family of Ervins that I ahve been looking for since I began my research several years ago. I am very interested in the family group posted by Julia Ervin Christianson. Julia, let me give you some brief information and I would appreciate hearing from you as you may have the information or leads I need to progress further: My gggrandfather was James Ervin/Irvin and was married twice with children of both marriages. I do not have his birth date but he apparently died as an older man in homeguard duty during the Civil War. His sons of his first marriage were James(Jr?), John, and Robert(given name was James Robert Ervin but went by Robert) Robert was my ggrandfather and b. 1-15-1851-1853 in McDowell Co NC. His older brother John was born in SC about 1834(Haywood Co Census 1870). Roberts mother died at or near his birth and since he was an orphan, his older brother John, a Civil War Vet brought him to Haywood County NC in 1867 to settle. John went on to Tenn in 1883 and is unknown since. My grandfather began spoelling the name as Erwin about 1900 but the family I believe was known as Ervin or Irvin in the mid 1800s and Irvine prior to that. Because my ggrandfather was an orphan and never knew much about his father, we have few clues to go on thus far. I have some more information and would like to share with you--Ed Erwin, Arden, NC -----Original Message----- From: Lyn <lyne@theriver.com> To: IRVIN-L@rootsweb.com <IRVIN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, November 16, 1998 12:57 PM Subject: Re: [IRVIN-L] Update of activity >Hi Julia & All > >These are "my" Irvins.

Hi, Has anyone run across the name of Jamina Irvin/Ervin? She would have been born in the early 1800's. We believe she was born in Missouri or more likely, Arkansas. We know nothing about her family. She married about 1837 to Newman McGEE, but we do not know where. If you have any knowledge of anyone with this name, please let me know. Thank You, Monica

Hi all, It isn't often that I run across a web site information message that I think its worth sending immediately, but this one is different. I haven't tried this yet, but I plan to today. Let's share our experiences with each other. Post your responses to the lists.

Hello, I just joined this list. I am working on Irvins from these two counties in MO. In 1850 James S. Irvin and Mary Polly Hodges? are in Effingham Co. IL as Erwin. They were came to MO between 1853 and 1860. They had 8 children. Andrew b. about 1835 Hiram b. June 1837 md. Hecthelda ? Susan b. about 1839 Martha b. about 1842 Rachel b. about 1844 possibly md. a "Trower" Elizabeth b. about 1846 Caroline b. Oct. 30, 1849 md. Andrew Newton Hendrix (this is my line) James b. about 1853 The last name has been spelled many ways. Erwin, Irvin, Irving, Irwin and Ervin. They are found in Pualski and Laclede counties near Richland in 1860 and later censuses. Also have an Alponso and America with 5 kids in Laclede in 1880 but do not know how they tie in.

Lets try it again. I am trying to locate more information on the following family. I am especially interested in any information someone might provide me on the ancestry of Christopher Woods or Margaret IRWINE/IRVIN. Any information on parents, siblings, or the children would be helpful. father Christopher WOODS born 1753 died 1 Oct 1847 mother Margaret IRWINE born 1 Mar 1847in PA died 12 Oct 1847 Christopher WOODS was Rev War pensioner. In his pension it states that he lived in same house in Milton for over 50 years. So, he was in Milton by 1781. It stated that he lived in Pa or NJ during the War. His sons stated that their father was born in Ireland . So I am unclear if he was born in PA, NJ, or Ireland.

Hi Folks, I'm combining several thoughts in one message. First I've been looking at several different ways to help our family mail lists get off to a good start. The list began on September 29, and as of today we already have 28 members on our regular mail list and 15 on our digest. That's a total of 43 individuals. Since you folks are the pioneers I thought I'd give you the opportunity to say what we do with our lists. Is there anyone who has any ideas? I'm open to suggestions and the majority rules. The only exception to that is the issue of flames. A flame is a derogatory remark about another person across a public mail list. I've always through that it was OK to disagree, but it isn't necessary to get rough. For the sake of those who don't enjoy that type of thing, I can't allow any of that. I would ask you to tell me about any problems you have with someone and let me handle it. Or conduct your disagreements in private. __________ I'm also interested in the Irvin surname. My grandmother was Mollie Evelyn Irvin. She was born July 15, 1876 Near Hoschton, Jackson Co., GA. The 1900 census shows that both of her parents were born in GA also. I know that her mother was Rebecca J. _____?_____ Irvin. I've found her in the 1900 census showing that she was a farmer and a widow. Her grave is located at Cahill Methodists Church Cemetery in Johnson Co., TX and gives the following information. Rebecca J. Irvin b 17 Oct 1849 d 4 Feb 1929. I have two differing ideas as to who Mollie's parent were. One shows her parents as John R A Irvine who married Rebecca J. McMullen in Brooks Co., GA. The other source shows her parents as John Daniel Irving who married Rebecca Jane Haynes. To date I have found no concrete evidence on either of these. I'm still searching and hope that as you all research your own Irvin relatives you'll keep them in mind and let me know if you find anything on them. Don't forget, let me what you'd like see happen with our list. If you don't voice your opinion I can't take your thoughts into account. You can post those ideas to the list or send them to me privately. All will be heard. Respectfully, donna brand higgins dbrand@hpnc.com

Who knows, you just might find that missing link. I posted early, so here it is again, in a little more detail ... I'm descended from James Irvine who came to South Carolina from Belfast in 1732. 1-James Irvine (-31 Jul 1776) 2-John Ervin (Irvine) (abt 1720-18 Mar 1773) 3-John Ervin (25 Mar 1754-May 1810) 4-James Robert Ervin (7 Nov 1788-26 Jun 1836) 5-John Witherspoon Ervin (27 Mar 1823-15 Apr 1902) 6-Erasmus Ellerbe Ervin (10 Mar 1847-13 May 1918) 7-John Witherspoon Ervin (21 May 1882-26 May 1928) 8-John Witherspoon Ervin (10 May 1915-24 Aug 1979) 9-Julia McDowell Ervin (15 Aug 1952-) My mother was a genealogist all her life and left a mass of high-quality research. I hope some day to put it on the web as a memorial to her, but at present very little of it is on the computer. In the mean time, I'll be pleased to share what I have with anyone for whom these names ring a bell. Julia Ervin Christianson juliac@patriot.net

This is a real long shot. On my great grandmother's (b. ca 1845) 1940 death certificate her father was listed as Ebenezer IRVIN, b. Africa. My aunt was interviewed in 1981 and recalled stories of him being sold away from the Millwood Plantation of James Edward Calhoun in Abbeville Co, SC. I would love to find others researching genealogical connections to an Ebenezer IRVIN who might have been enslaved in SC, AL, or MS???

My search is for Joseph IRVIN, born between 1798 and 1810, possibly County Tyrone, Ireland. He married Nancy Riedman (in Ireland?) I only know of one child, Nancy, born Sept. 22, 1841 in Simcoe County, Ontario. (Nancy married Samuel Gates, they had 9 children. I believe they were all born in Ontario.) The Gates' and Joseph Irvin moved to Isabella County, Michigan. On the 1880 Regular census for Iabella County, Mi, Joseph Irvin is listed as being 70 years old, living with his daughter and her husband,Samuel and Nancy Gates. Also listed is a 60 year old sister-in-law to Samuel Gates, her name is Mary and she was born in Ireland, also. Any connections? Thanks, Norma\NH
