WILLIAM
NEILL IRVINE, was known as Capt. Irvine or Irwin. He was trained as a
lawyer and entered the US Army about 1803. As Colonel in the War of
1812, he raised a Regiment. He was acting Adjunct General of the state
of Pennsylvania during 1812 and 1813. In the 1820's he moved from
Carlisle to Gettysburg and then also lived in North Humberland County
and Lycoming, County, PA. In the fall of 1841, he moved his family to
Mercer in Mercer County, PA. They crossed the Allegheny mountains by
wagon conveyance at Williamsburg, railroads not being general in
general use as they are now. Their intended destination was the state
of Michigan, but as cold weather set in earlier than usual, they
thought it best to stop over during the winter at Mercer, and continue
their journey in the spring. When spring came they changed their minds,
and decided to stay where they were. In the last years of William's
life he was a judge. (In some accounts his birthday is listed as Oct.
3, 1782)
William was married twice. First to Juliana Galbraith
of Carlisle, the daughter of Major Andrew Galbraith. To this union two
sons were born. His second wife, Rachel P. Tipton, was the mother of
William Henry Irwin (Irvine), who began This Iowa connection.
