John Ervin Surname: ERVIN, IRVIN, ERWIN, or IRWIN, JEFFRIES, JEFFRYS However the name is spelled, my ggg grandfather, James ERVIN and his wife, Sarah JEFFERIES were living in Franklin Co. (now Madison Co.) in 1807 when their son, John ERVIN was born. One thing I have discovered is that James appears to have managed Needham & Hume (a merchandiser) after 1816. I'm looking for anything re: James Ervin (said to be born in Ireland) and his wife, Sarah Jeffries b in Nova Scotia. Does anyone know of the Jeffreys family in Nova Scotia or the marriage of Sarah Jeffreys? -- Judy Ryden [email protected] [email protected] http://www.rootsweb.com/~necass/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~spratlen/sindex.htm
