Pa Biographies Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/VenangoBios/312 Surname: Irwin ------------------------- Do you know if James Irwin, b. 1770 Chester Co., had sons which included a Samuel and a James and a Hiram Shorts, among others? Am looking for my g-great grandfather, James Irwin, who could possibly have come from Mercer County. He purchased land in Forest County.
