General Notes: Husband - Eliphalet Irwin


His father and family migrated to a part of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, now included in Indiana County, in the late 1700s, and settled on a farm in Conemaugh township. He was among the earliest settlers in that region. After their marriage he and his wife lived on this old Irwin farm during the remainder of their lives.
He, for many years, was engaged in teaming from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, long before the existence of either canal or railroads as a means of transportation between these cities. He would be absent for weeks on these trips. Once his mother growing uneasy on account of his long absence, went out to see if he were yet in sight, and saw a six horse team coming which she supposed to be his. She returned to the house, but he did not come, and when she found that she had been mistaken, she believed that he was dead, and that the unpleasant information had been brought to her by the apparition of the six horse team. Consequently he was given up by all as dead, but returned home safely in about a week.

He served in the War of 1812 - but not from Indiana County. [HIC 1880, 505]
