My name is Donna Fletcher. My mother was an Irvin and I thought I would share a little with you. The furthest back I can go in our line is Benjamin O. Irvin. All we know about him is that he was married to Mary Loper. Their son was John Quincy Irvin (b. 11/16/1849 in Gallia Co, Ohio and d.1/14/1920 in Pike Co, Ohio) He married Louisa Jane Bowman (b. 8/12/50 and d. 6/2/1938 in Pike Co, Ohio). They had 13 children. I have their names and birthdates if you are interested. One of their sons was my great-grandfather, John Oral Irvin (b. 2/5/1882 in Pike Co. Ohio and died 12/4/1945 in Pike Co, Ohio). He married Bertha Catherine Allen (b. 6/17/1886 in Pike Co. and d. 8/23/1953 in Columbus, Ohio). They had 4 children whose names and birthdates I have if you are interested. One of their sons was Walter Woodrow Irvin my grandfather. He was born 10/3/1915 and died 3/23/1964 in Delaware, Ohio. He married Mary Katharine Steele (b. 2/5/1919 in Ewington, Ohio and died 11/28/1991 in Columbus, Ohio). They were married Dec. 26, 1936 in Greenup, Kentucky. They had two daughters, one was my mother Carolyn Jane Irvin. (b. 1/8/1942). I hope to find someone I am related to out there. Thanks. Donna Fletcher Lynn4@erols.com
