MARGARET MARSHALL.
The subject of this sketch was born in Indiana county, Pa., December 29, 1783. She was married in 1806 to Eliphlet Irwin, of Indiana county, Pa., by Joseph Henderson. Mr. Irwin was a native of York (now Adams) county, Conecogheague settlement. His father and family migrated to Westmoreland (now Indiana) county, about one hundred years ago, and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by his son, Samuel Irwin, in Conemaugh township. He was among the earliest settlers in that region. Two barns have been worn out on the farm, and the third one was built several years ago. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Eliphlet Irwin lived on this old Irwin farm during the remainder of their lives. He, for many years was engaged in teaming from Pittsburg to Philadelphia, long before the existence of either canal or railroads as a means of transportation between these cities. He would be absent for weeks on these trips. Once his mother growing uneasy on account of his long absence, went out to see if he were yet in sight, and saw a six horse team coming which she supposed to be his. She returned to the house, but he did not come, and when she found that she had been mistaken, she believed that he was dead and that the unpleasant information had been brought to her by the apparition of the six horse team. Consequently he was given up by all as dead, but returned home safely in about a week. Mrs. Irwin died June 27, 1857. Mr. Irwin had died many years before this date. They had ten children, Hannah, Jane, Mary, John, James, Samuel, William, Marshall, Benjamin and Joseph. Hannah was born June 16, 1807. She was never married, and has been dead several years.
