General Notes: Husband - Callander Irvine


In 1797 Callender Irvine, then a young man, undertook in person, aided only by his servant, "Black Tom," to make the actual settlement then required to perfect the title which his father, the famous Revolutionary general, had procured. The first house stood on the ground later occupied by the railroad station at Irvineton, but this was abandoned for higher ground after the memorable "Pumpkin Flood" of 1805.

For some time before the year 1804 (when his father died) Callender Irvine was in command of the fort at Erie, Pennsylvania; but he then resigned his command to look after the extensive property left to him.

When his father, then Commissary-General of the United States, died in 1804, Callender was summoned to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to take his place, which office he retained until his death.

He was president of the Hibernia Society of Pennsylvania, and of the State Society of Cincinnati.
