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.
