I'm looking for any ancestral, family and/or descendant information on a William Irvine/Irvin/Ervin (bc 1780; d bef 1834?) who supposedly lived in then-Montgomery (present-day Floyd)Co., VA, but may have been born in Bedford or Campbell Co., VA c 1780. We know that he at least had two daughters (Mary and Elizabeth) as there are Montgomery Co. (later Floyd Co.) marriage records for both of them.
As indicated, William was apparently born during the early 1780s (VA?) and first married a Margaret “Peggy” Robertson in Montgomery Co., VA in 1797. Whether that marriage produced a child or not, we just can’t say at this point, although if it did, it was likely a son, based on the 1810 census. Unfortunately we have no further info on such a son at all at this point.
As for his 2nd marriage, it was to a Freelove Boothe (b1789; NY) in 1806, in Montgomery Co., VA, whose family had moved to Montgomery Co not that many years before the wedding. From this marriage, we know he had two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth.
Concerning his oldest daughter, Mary Irvine (Jan 7, 1808 - Nov 15, 1880), she married a William Spangler (1792 - 1862) of then-Montgomery Co. on Sept. 8, 1828, and they resided there for the remainder of their lives.
As for the younger daughter, Elizabeth Irvine (bc 1809; dc 188?), she married an Andrew Reed (bc 1795 to 1800; dc 1854/55?) in then-Montgomery (present-day Floyd Coo., VA on Dec. 27, 1827. They apparently had several children and lived early on along the Beaver Creek area of present-day Floyd Co, but later in and around the town of Floyd and/or the eastern portion of Floyd Co., VA. They apparently remained in this area until at least 1854/55, when Andrew "apparently" died. His death is based on his absence from the Floyd Co. Tax records beyond 1854,the fact that his wife (Elizabeth) is listed as the head-of- the-household in the Floyd Co 1860 census, as well as the note that states Elizabeth was a “widow” at the time of her 2nd marriage in Floyd Co., VA in 1861 (to a James Greer). Elizabeth’s second husband apparently died in the early 1870s, and Elizabeth, herself, apparently continued living in Floyd Co. for most, if not all of the rest of her life, until her apparent death during the 1880’s or 1890’s, although we have yet to confirm the date. All we know that is that she was absent from the Floyd Co 1890 census, and that she may have spent her final years with her eldest daughter in Franklin Co., as she was not listed in the Floyd Co death records that I’ve seen to date. Although Virginia counties were not required to keep vital records from 1896-1912, the fact tthat she would have been c 86 years old by then leads me to think that she had died by then. So if she weren’t listed in the pre-1896 Floyd Co death records, then she likely died in another county (and tha was likely Franklin).
Any additional information concerning the above William Irvine (bc 1780; Campbell Co? Bedford Co.? Botetourt Co. or Montgomery Co., VA?), the names of his parents and/or siblings, his other children, where he (or his parents, etc.) migrated from prior to arriving in Montgomery Co (present-day Floyd Co.),VA, the time and place of his death (c 1830? VA?)would be very much appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Bob
