John J. IRVIN, born Kentucky, of Schuyler Co., Illinois
I'm hoping someone can tell me the last name of John J. Irvin's wife.The 1860 Census of Littleton, Schuyler, Illinois (which shows his birth as Kentucky) shows John's wife's name as Achey.John shows as born about 1813, Achey about 1822 in Ohio, all the children were born in Illinois: Wm. born about 1842; Sarah J. born about 1843; Martha A. born about 1845; Isabell born about 1848; Nathan born about 1851; Joseph born about 1852; Mary F. born about 1856; and Robert born about 1859.
Son Nathan's middle name is Lewis and he was born 5 July 1851; he married Matilda Adelia Fosnot and they raised a large family in Baker County, Oregon. Son Joseph's middle initial is either E or S, and he, too, moved to Baker County, Oregon and never married; he was born 10 August 1852.
There is a possibility that John J. had a brother named Nathan who also shows up on the Littleton, Schuyler, Illinois 1860 Census with his second wife Elizabeth and daughter Mary C.
If anyone knows more about Achey, about John J.'s parents and siblings; where they came from in Kentucky; or any other family connections, I would greatly appreciate the info.Thanks.
