Joseph C. Irwin m. Ann O. Showard, daughter of Levin Showard in Jefferson, KY Jul 9, 1833 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F43L-CZ8

Commodore Irwin m. Anna Percel on Jun 1, 1843 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XXBS-FN5

Commodore Irwin mentioned in the Journal of the Senate of the General Assembly of the State of Ohio which was held in the City of Columbus on Monday, December 7, 1840.

"Commodore Erwin has lived in said township for some years, and informed said deponent that he had only been out into the State of Indiana to see his mother, who had lately removed to that State, and soon returned, and that he did not go with an intention to remain longer; said Erwin is a single man,and has uniformly lived in said township, and a citizen of the United States;"

"10—Deposition of Isaac Dunn.

At the same time and place, personally came Isaac Dunn, of White water township, Hamilton county, Ohio, and being duly sworn, according to law, deposeth and saith as follows: I reside in Whitewater township, and have 30 years; was born there. I knew Daniel Cloud; he told me he voted the Van Buren ticket on the 13th ult., on which George W. Holmes's name was as a candidate for senator; he told he was not twenty one years of age; he voted in said township of Whitewater. I know Commodore Irwin; he came into the state of Ohio within the last 3 months, from Columbus, in the state of Indiana; he said he and his brother owned land in Indiana; he voted at our polls, in said Whitewater township, on the 13th ult., for state and county officers, and Voted the Van Buren party ticket. This I have from himself. He said he formerly resided in Cincinnati, Ohio, and had owned a house and lot there, and had sold out and gone to Indiana; the property in Cincinnati he said belonged to himself and brother, but do not know what time he left; he, I judge, is an unmarried man; he now is to work in said Whitewater township, and says he will go out home again in the winter. The first I knew of him in Ohio, was last spring, 1840; he came and worked until over corn planting; he then went out to Indiana and remained until after the August election, and then returned into our township again. I had some conversation with him before he went out to Indiana, after corn planting, and I think he told me he wanted to get home to vote at the August election, in that state; but in this I may be mistaken, but I believe I am right in what I have said."

I looked through the 1830 and 1840 Hamilton County, Whitewater Twp. census records page by page and did not find any Irwin's, Ervin's, Erwin's, etc.

Negative on the California Death and Burial Record. Commodore ERVIN died 12 March 1892 in Jasper County, Illinois (as documented in Family Search Records. MrFidgit has visited his grave, photographed his military headstone. A return trip is scheduled to determine burial date and location of wife soon. MrFidgit is the great grandson of Commodore - his history has been thoroughly researched and it is continuing. More info will be provided when known.

Research efforts proved negative

On 6 April 2019 this researcher made a exploratory trip to Jasper, Illinois to the church where Commodore Ervin Sr is buried in an attempt to gain information about location and DOD for Anna Purcell, wife of Commodore. Unfortunately nothing was found about Anna. The Church was built about 1886 on property next to McQueen graveyard with separate record keeping and provided no information about the cemetery and who is buried there. The property for the church was donated by Quit Claim Deed By John and Elizabeth McQueen and was named Headyville Christian Church after the Headyville community nearby named after the Heady family. This location is in South Muddy Township and is located approximately one and one half miles from the South Muddy Cemetery. They are two separate cemeteries. I did find Matilda (Hawn) Ervin's baptism record (1 March 1898)(wife of Ben Franklin Ervin son of Commodore) and that of her niece Dora (dau of David Ervin, son of Commodore). It seems Commodore was a member of the now defunct church across the road from the cemetery where he is buried, and only the foundation exists on abandoned property.

I had a nice trip and met some beautiful people (record keepers) of that area.
