    5. Samuel Williamson Irvin, b. April 16, 1798, married Jane Doak, February 1, 1821, in Jessamine County, Kentucky. (She was a daughter of James and Mrs. Jane (Dunn Fulton) Doak and a sister of the above Joseph W. Doak.) He settled in Bloomington, Ind., where he and his father established a tanyard. He was also a cabinetmaker and carpenter. We have some of his own make of furniture. In 1826 he moved to Charlestown, Clark County, Indiana, and in 1828 moved down the Ohio River to Mauckport, Ind. Later bought a farm three miles east of Corydon, on Big Indian Creek, in Harrison County, Indiana. In 1837 moved to Corydon, where he died September 5,1843, in the prime of life. He had the reputation of being a most powerful man in strength, though not by any means a large man; red hair and florid complexion. He died of a very acute disease, and it is thought by his descendants, now, it was appendicitis. He was buried by the side of his father in Cedar Hill Cemetery in Corydon, Ind. Their children will appear under the head of James Doak.
