Individual Details

When John Irwin wrote his Will in 1808, he did not mention a son John. However, he called himself John Irwin, Sen. It would certainly seem there was a younger John Irwin in the community. Both a John Irwin and a John Irwin, Jr. were listed on the 1806 tax list, assuring me that there were two men of this name, but not necessarily indicating they were father and son.

Carlisle, Cumberland Co PA, there was still a John Irwin in 1800: He had 2 males under 10 and one male age 26-45; 3 females under 10 and one female age 26-45. Given the age, this could be the son, John, if he did not go to Kentucky at the same time as his father.

1810 Cumberland Co PA. John Irvin in Rye Twp. John Irvine in Tyrone Twp.
1820, Cumberland Co PA. Two John Irvines. One John Irwin.


In 1820 in Clermont, Ohio, there was also a John Irvin, Goshen Twp. He had 1m under 10, 1m 16-18, 2 m 16-26, and one male over 45 [or born before 1775 - seems a bit too old]. 3 f under 10, 2f 10-16, and 2 f 26-45. I believe it quite likely this is the following:
A John Irwin of Clermont is listed as having a Rejected Revolutionary Pension for not have served six months. I did find this pension on Heritage Quest and this particular John Irwin [or IRVIN] was still living in 1834 and had served under Capt. John Hughes. If he was younger, than the John Irwin of my research would very likely have been referred to as the "Senior" John Irwin in the area.

Two John IRWINs were found in 1830 in Clermont:
One in New Richmond. 1m 30-40, 1m 60-70. 1f 10-15, 1f 60-70
One in Goshen Twp. 2m -5, 1m 5-10, 1m 10-15, 1m 20-30, 1m 50-60. 1f 5-10, 1f 10-15, 1f 15-20, 1f 40-50

The name is so common and the spellings so varied, I doubt any success in positively identifying a John Irwin, Jr.
