Notes

We know from the marriage record of Mary Ellen Erwin that her father was a Michael Ervin. And Monmouth County, New Jersey marriage records show a Michael Arvin married a Mary Smith in 1812, which appears to be her likely parents.

There is a younger Michael Ervin [1827-1907] and also a Leonard Ervin [born abt. 1820], both in Monmouth County, New Jersey, that appear to also be likely children of Michael and Mary Ervin, but additional research is needed.

Some Internet trees claim that this Michael Ervin died abt. 1903, but this would have made Michael abt. 111 years old when he died, which appears unlikely, especially since there do not appear to be any census records showing a Michael Ervin of that age living in the area. The younger Michael Ervin's will was written in 1903 and proven 1907 in Monmouth County, New Jersey, likely causing the confusion with this older Michael Ervin. Additional records are needed to find out more about him.
