Robert IRWIN

                   Death notice from Blair COunty Genealogical Society.
                  

                   I only know about this child by the comment that Robert had 7 daughter and 4 sons. Grew to maturity.
I got the name from Grandmother, Mary (Carson) Irwin's will. Obviously alive in 1822 when her grandmother's will was written.
There is an Ellen, daughter of Robert, who died 1/11/1837, interred 1/18/1837, the mother died 1/16/1837, and was interred the same date as what I think is the daughter. The Hollidaysburg C & P register 1/18/37 had an obit that said "obedient daughter".

I estimated the birthdate for Temple ready.
                  

                   Never married. I viewed the headstone.  I can't tell the dates on the stone.
Was mentioned in her father's will dated 27 Apr 1849.
1870 and 1880 -  living with David C. Irwin, during the 1870 census. She was 65.

Dr. Irwin ranked high among the skillful physicians of Central Pennsylvania, andfor years maintained a large and lucrative practice. He was public spirited to more than an ordinary degree and in measures that affect the promotion of local interests was never backward in showing, in a substantial way, the true and earnest concern of the progressive citizen.
