General Notes: Husband - Capt. William Irvine

---

He was a cousin of General William Irvine, of the Revolutionary War.

His place was the "Thomas Wilson" warrantee tract, about a mile above Rengler's mill, adjoining the John Beatty, Wendell Baker, James Magee and John Sierer, two hundred and sixty acres; ninety cleared. It was sold by his executors, on 4th May, 1798, to Peter Dunkle, for fifteen hundred dollars.
William Irvine came into the valley probably in the year 1774, when he patented the tract. He is marked on the assessments William Irvine (Irish), to distinguish him from William Irwin, Esq., who is marked as "late of Carlisle." His wife was an Armstrong, connected with the family at Carlisle.
He served during the French-Indian War, 1754-63. John B. Linn later had his powder horn, on which were etched the stations between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, to Fort Stanwix and Crown Point, the plan of Fort Duquesne, the English insignia Honi soit qui mal, Indians with scalping-knives, etc. With the runaway of 1779, he removed his family to Cumberland County. His wife died near Carlisle, and he returned to his place in the valley, accompanied by his daughter Catherine.

John, Matthew and Thomas, of Philadelphia, frequently mentioned in Pennsylvania Archives in connection with the purchase of ships for the navy and powder for the Continental army, were William's cousins, as were also General William Irvine, of the Pennsylvania Line; Matthew, the celebrated surgeon of Lee's Legion; and Andrew, who survived so many wounds received at Paoli.
