General Notes: Husband - Gen. William Irvine
Educated at the University of Dublin, Ireland, he studied medicine, and was sometime surgeon in the English Navy. After the peace of 1763, he removed to Pennsylvania and settled at Carlisle. He was a member from Cumberland County of the Convention which met at Philadelphia on the 15th of July, 1774, and recommended a general Congress. He was a representative in the succeeding conferences of the Province. In 1776 he raised and commanded the Sixth Pennsylvania regiment, and was captured at Trois Rivieres, Canada. On the 3d of August was released on parole; exchanged May 6, 1778. The same year he was appointed Colonel of the Second Pennsylvania regiment, and the 12th of May, 1779, a brigadier general. He served under Wayne during that and the following year. In the autumn of 1781, he was stationed at Fort Pitt, entrusted with the defense of the northwestern frontier. In 1784 he served as a member of the council of censors. In 1785 he was appointed by the governor of Pennsylvania an agent to examine the public lands of the state, and suggested the purchase of the "Triangle," thus giving Pennsylvania an outlet on Lake Erie. He was member of the old Congress of 1786-8, and of the Constitutional Convention of 1790. In 1794 Gov. Mifflin appointed him, with chief Justice McKean, a commissioner to go to the western counties. He served as member of Congress from 1793 to 1795. He was president of the Pennsylvania Society of the Cincinnati.

He was born in Ireland, and was appointed a surgeon in the British navy. In 1763 he emigrated to America, settling at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he practiced his profession with success until 1774, when he was appointed one of the representatives in the provincial convention which met at Philadelphia in that year. In January, 1776, he was appointed colonel of the Sixth Battalion, afterward the Seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Line. On March 8, 1782, he was ordered to Fort Pitt to protect the frontier, then threatened with British and Indian invasion. He was also employed in settling the boundary dispute between Pennsylvania and Virginia. In 1794 he was appointed with Andrew Ellicott to lay out the towns of Erie, Warren, Waterford and Franklin, in which service they were accompanied by a military escort under Colonel Irvine's command. He was a member of the convention to form a constitution for the state of Pennsylvania, and was commander-in-chief of Pennsylvania troops during the whiskey insurrection, and was appointed by Chief Justice McKean to treat with the insurgents.
He was a native of Ireland from the neighborhood of Enniskillen; had been classically educated at the University of Dublin, and had early evinced a fondness for military life, but had been induced by his parents to devote himself to the medical and surgical profession. On receiving his diploma he had been appointed a surgeon in the British Navy, where he continued until the close of the French war (1754-63), when he resigned his place, removed to America and settled in Carlisle, where he acquired a high reputation and an extensive practice as a physician.
