Person:Jetson Irvin (1)

The surname is shown variously as Irvin, Ervin, Irving and Ervine.

 According to a query on Nicholas Co. Kentucky mailing list, Jetson was the son of William and Susanna Erwin. {Nicholas Co. Kentucky mailing list archives, 21 June 2002, Jeannie Dalrymple, <www.rootsweb.com>}
 According to various sources, Jetson and Mary had at least 9 children: 

Robert 1827- (m. Martha Ann Bohannon); Louisa ~1828 (m. John R. Blount); Mahala 1825-1864 (m. Elias Blake); Amanda 1829- (m. William K. Fuller); William Granville 1833-1928 (m. Rebecca Susan Myers); Nancy 1834-1900 (m. Michael J. Myers); George W. 1835- (m. Sarah Smart); Jeremiah 1840-1864; and John Holmes 1841- .

 However, according to his death record, George W. Irvin was the son of of George Irvine and Jane Burns. I think it possible that John Holmes was a grandson or nephew.

 According to a posting on Nicholas KY Mailing List, "The headstone for Jeremiah [in Locust Grove Cemetery] was erected by friends in memory of Jeremiah and J. H. Suddith age 20:  "Two inestimable patriots while defending their homes and property, being overpowered, surrendered. Then fell by the unrelenting hand of inhuman traitors on the 9th day of June 1864." {Jeannie Dalrymple, dated 21 June 2002, Nicholas Co.KY Mailing List, <www.rootsweb.com> 4 Mar 2009}
