In compiling this work in re^ura to the Irwin family in both Europe and -oinerio-A I h—ve been compelled to resort to the Sootcu history ana early archives, container in historical libraries in Pennsylvania. I also searched church records and cemeteries in uiiferent ^arts ox Pennsylvania in which the earlier families resided ana vjul also a oly assisted by living descendants of those families. I also acid this documentary evidence to the correctness of cescent* John Irwin, private in Cumberland county, Pennsylvaiiic. "frontier rangers IV76-1633” appears on pages 635 to 639, here spelled (John Irvine), of series five volume four, Pennsylvania archives. This same list is also to be found in series three volume twenty three where the name John Irvine appears on page 359 ana as Joan nrivine on page 367, also page 389. These variations in spelling do not •in our estimation make any difference in the identity of the individual. This verification comes from Emma X). Poole, liorar.an of the historical Society of Western Pennsylvania located at Pittsburgh. After ten years

research completedIToVe 1? 1939. Margaret i Colton, California.
