Harrison Irwin is on the 1861 Militia Roll for Woodstock Township as an able bodied male citizen between the age of 18-45 subject to military duty. His brother Harvey and half-brother Eleazer did serve in the Union Army.

I checked the Bureau of Land Management and the Irwins had no patents direct from the government. I'm sure a search of the Grantee index prior to the dates of the deeds listed here would reveal when these tracts were purchased. None of the sales seemed to be for the 40 acres he would have inherited from his grandfather Richard Hill in Section 33, but perhaps that land was not be to distributed until after his mother's death.
