General Notes: Husband - John Irwin

---

He was the head of the Irwin family for many years. He was remembered as a man of highest character, of courtly, even military, bearing, a gentleman of the old school, and in whose work all had implicit faith. In 1828 he was burgess of Allegheny City (later North Side, Pittsburgh,) and held many posts of responsibility. He was a director of the Bank of Pittsburgh, and president of the company that built the first bridge across the Allegheny river, connecting Allegheny City with Pittsburgh. He succeeded his father as the Irwin family representative in the "Society of the Cincinnati."

He was a rope-maker and made the rigging for a part of Commodore Perry's fleet in the war of 1812-14. He was identified with the growth of Pittsburgh, and at one time owned ten acres of ground near West Park. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church.

He and his wife had twelve children.
