Conjecture

• At present very little has been learned about the ancestry of Mary Irvin. She was married (& possibly born) in Tuscarora Valley. Her parents are said to be James Irwin and Martha unknown, immigrants from Ireland in 1760.
  Several Irvin or Irwin pioneers settled in Butler County PA in the early 1800s. A John Irwin of Ireland came to Westmoreland Co., thence to Cherrytree T. Butler Co, and died in 1843, owning land settled by George McCandless. An Alexander Irvine settled in Brady Twp (then Slippery Rock) in 1797 (see the book "West Liberty Cemetery", 1996 by Dwight Cooper). A James Irvine is on the list of taxables of 1803 for 100 acres in Connoquenessing Twp., as is Samuel Irwin for 400 acres in Slippery Rock Twp.

There is also an interesting Irwin family in northern Venango County PA, in Cherrytree Twp. They were a family or surveyors, as was Mary Irvin's son James Irvin Hogue in Butler Co. This family originated in County Armagh, Ireland with one David Irwin who had 11 children. Six sons immigrate to America, and we are told that the Pennsylvania branch descends from his son Richard Irwin b. 1740, m. 1764 to Ann Steele, and d. 1809 in Buffalo Valley,White Deer Twp. Union County PA. Richard of Union Co. had five sons who immigrated to Cherrytree Twp. Venango Co. PA. Son John(b.1768) arrived in 1800. His 3 brothers Samuel (b. 1765), James (b.1770) & Ninian (b.1774), all of whom were surveyors, arrived in Cherrytree Twp. in 1801. A brother Richard "arrived later". The will of John Irwin, probated 1839, names brothers Richard, Samuel, Robert, James, Ninian, Joseph, sister Elizabeth. It names among his brother James' children a daughter Mary Irwin.

Finally, miscellaneous notes that there is an Irwin Twp in Venango County; that the city of Franklin was surveyed by Gen. William Irvine & Andrew Ellicott, surveyors of the "Donation Lands."
