General Notes: Husband - John Irvin


He and his wife were of Scotch-Irish extraction, and from Scotland came to America in the early 1790's. They took up their abode at what is now Linden Hall, Harris township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, where he owned and operated a mill and distillery until his death in 1825. [CBRCP-CCJC, 117]

He emigrated to America with his brothers William and Guyan from Ireland. After remaining in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, where he worked at the trade of stonemason, and where he assisted in building the stone bridge, he removed to Penn's valley. His parents followed him to Lewistown, where they lived and died. John Irvin assisted James Duncan in his store at Lewisburg, and then opened a store near Linden Hall. He later removed to Linden Hall, erected a grist- and saw-mill, and kept store there until his death. He built the mills at Oak Hall, also the stone mill on Sinking Creek, and at his death was the largest landholder in the valley except the Potters. He was a tall, handsome man, of few words, modest and reserved in manner. [HCCC, 204]
