He was born, probably on the Conedoguinet, in Pennsboro township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He died of palsy in the winter of 1798-99.

Another source states that he was born in the north of Ireland.

He was ensign of Capt. John Steel's company in the Kittanning expedition under Colonel Armstrong, in 1756, and quartermaster of Col. Samuel Culbertson's battalion, Cumberland County Associators, 1777-80. He built a fine stone dwelling house, and a flour and saw mill on the west branch of the Conococheague, in Montgomery township, Franklin County. To the mills he gave the name of "Irwinton Mills."
