I am trying to find the parents of my gg grandfather, William H. Irwin, who was born
about 4-15-1831 in Harrison County, Indiana. One later census says William's mother
was born in England; however, another says she was born in the US.
I would appreciate knowing about any Irwins in Harrison County in 1831 and surrounding
years.
I did come across the marriage in Harrison County of James Irwin and Elizabeth Detrick on
11-25-1830. This is a definite possibility for parents, but another researcher told me
that William was not listed among their children. I have been unable to determine the
source of this information.
I would like to know more about this Detrick family.
By 1850, my William Irwin was married and living in Iowa. I do not know whether his
parents were still alive and/or in Harrison County.
The name is sometimes spelled ERWIN, ERVIN, IRVIN.
Thank you so much for any information that might be available!
