Va. Author: edwirvin Date: 09 June 2009 Classification: Query Surnames: Arwhin, Erwin, Irvin, Irvine, Irwin??
Perhaps someone can shed some light on these folks. From the Prince Edward County, Virginia Wills, 1754-1765. This will appears to have been proven either in 1760 or 1766. It is hard to tell. I am guessing at least some of the children moved to Bedford/Campbell county after the death of their father. And who might the John “Erwin” be? Be aware of variant spellings. Any clues out there?
