I'm interested in find out when they came over to America, and if there is any relation to Col. Arthur Erwin. These are the generations I have so far: 1. John Erwin (b. 1770, Bucks Co. PA) m.Susan Tomlinson 2. Joseph (Irwin) Erwin (b.1792, Southhampton, PA) m. Hannah Yerkes Morrison and Matilda Morrison 3. James W.B. Erwin (1827, Montgomery County) married Emmeline Danehower 4. Jonathan Morrison Erwin (b. 1855 Jenkintown, Bucks PA) 5. Elsey Walls Erwin (1878, Bridgeport, Montogomery Co, PA) >> Mary Beth, I do not have any information going back, but I do have a connection to #3--apparently Jonathan had a brother William B. Erwin, b in Jenkintown, Montgomery C 12 Sep 1853, d 5 Jan 1929, interred at Hilltown PA in Lower Baptist Cemetery; son of James & Emmaline Danehower Erwin; this William married Mary Jane Lewis 1 Jun 1882 at Norristown by Rev. George B. Roberts. I have this from book on Lewis ancestry written by Mary Jane Lewis Erwin. It may be helpful in that it further confirms your locations. I have a bit more on children of this marriage, but not ancestors.
