THOMAS WM. IRVINE,
2nd child and 1st son of Thomas Irvine and Tabitha Meridith Clark, was
born in New York City 2nd Feb., 1805. Irvine T. Holloway was somewhat
vague in his recollections of the Uncle. Perhaps to lessen family
confusion he was known to the cousins as "Will". He grew up as a
helper to his father in the farm work and a a young man departed for the
city of his birth. Hard times must have overtaken him for some years later
he returned to Mt. Vernon, OH. and farmed one of his brother Clark’s
acreages. On 7th Feb., 1840 he acquired a wife in New York by the name of
Juliana and had a daughter Mary - who was known to the cousins as Polly
and lived with the family of her Uncle Clark.
Probably because of financial
assistance rendered along over the years explains the bequest of $1.00 in
the Will of his father. Demise date is unknown. Of his wife nothing has
come to light.
MARY
"POLLY" IRVINE,

cousins and playmates. Lived with her Uncle Clark’s 3 sons and 4
daughters.
