The Irvine family IRVINE-ANDREWS herein recorded is of Scotch descent, the great-grandfather of Mary A. (Irvine) Andrews, of Bradford, Pennsylvania, emi- grating to this country from Ireland, where the family had settled on leaving Scotland. The family seat was nine miles from Enniskil- len, on the banks of Lough Eine, at a little village of thirteen hundred people called Irvinestown, also Loutherstown. Here lived John Irvine, a justice of the peace and deputy lieutenant of the county of Fermanagh. Among the physicians of the village was Gerard Irvine, and among its merchants was William Irvine. This was the family from which sprang the Irvines of Pennsylvania.

(I) Of the brothers that came to America may be named William, Andrew and Matthew. William was born in Enniskillen, Fermanagh county, Ireland. in 1740, and was appointed a surgeon in the British navy. In 1763 he emi- grated to America, settling at Carlisle, Penn- sylvania, 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 Brit- ish and Indian invasion. He was also employ- ed 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 Frank-

lin, in which service they were accompanied by a military escort under Colonel Irvine's command. He was a member of the conven- tion to form a constitution for the state of Pennsylvania, and was commander-in-chief of Pennsylvania troops during the whiskey in- surrection, and was appointed by Chief Jus- tice Mckean to treat with the insurgents.

One of his sons, Callender Irvine, born in Carlisle, 1774, was president of the Hibernia Society of Pennsyl- vania, and of the State Society of the Cincin- nati. Elizabeth Irvine married Dr. Reynolds, a United Irishman of '98, who came to this country and practiced successfully m Phila- delphia. In Warren county, Pennsylvania, is " the village of Irvine, named in honor of Gen- eral William Irvine. Andrew, a brother of General Irvine, was also a brave soldier of the revolution, serving as captain. Matthew Irvine, a younger brother of General William and An- drew, came to this country when a boy. He studied medicine at Carlisle and Philadelphia under his brother and the famous Dr. Rush, but imbibing the patriotic ardor of his brothers he left his studies to join the army of Washing- ton. One of these brothers was the father of Andrew, of whom further.

His parents were obliged to leave Northum- berland county on account of the Indians, flee- ing 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. Another half-brother, George, settled in that county in 1813.
