General Notes: Husband - Andrew Irvine

---

There is a great deal of confusion in GPHNP regarding this person:

Of the Irvine brothers that came to America may be named William, Andrew and Matthew. One of these brothers was the father of Andrew. [GPHNP, 49]

He was born in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, on the west bank of the Susquehanna river. His parents were obliged to leave Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, on account of the Indians, fleeing to Cumberland County. His father had three wives and twenty-two children, having issue by each wife. A half-brother of Andrew, Welsh Irvine, was a farmer and boat-builder of Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Another half-brother, George, settled in that county in 1813. Andrew Irvine settled at Towanda, Bradford County, in 1812, where he erected and operated a tannery until 1836, then moved to Warren, Pennsylvania, where he bought property and engaged extensively in farming and lumbering. On the property which he owned and which was later in the possession of his heirs were several productive gas and oil wells. He was a Democrat in politics, and a member of the Presbyterian church, as was his wife. He married Catherine McAffee. [GPHNP, 49]

He was a son of John Irvine, born in the North of Ireland, and Mary Catharine (McAffee) Irvine, born in Pennsylvania, daughter of Major James McAffee, born in Pennsylvania, 1785, prominent in the war of 1812, married (first) Catharine Blakesley, who bore him one child, Mary Catharine, who married Andrew Irvine. [GPHNP, 275]

He was a lumberman and farmer. He established the first tannery at Towanda, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, having been an early settler there. He is credited with having built the first log house in the town and later to have erected the first brick residence there.
