About Robert Irvine

James Irvine was also known as Robert Irvine. In this generation the name is "Irvine," but his American sons all changed the spelling of the name to Irwin.

  • Birth: after 1670 - County Antrim, Northern Ireland (FAG says 1655)
  • Death: after 1729 - Northern Ireland
  • Parents: David Irvine, Sophie Gault
  • Married: Margaret Wylie

"Robert and Margaret had 10 children; Margaret (died in Ireland) who married Ephraim McDowell; Thomas who married and settled in Cushendal, Ireland; and Alexander, George, David, William, Robert, James, and Samuel. The last seven came to America on the ship GEORGE & ANNE. It sailed from Londonderry 9 May 1729 and landed at Philadelphia." There is also a daughter Mary (died in Ireland) who married her cousin, John Wylie.

Per Elson Irwin: NOTE: This Robert Irvine became a wealthy man, operating linen mills at Larne, County Antrim in Ireland. Yet, seven of his sons chose to migrate to America in 1729, why?

"The Irish-born descendants of Robert Irvine and his wife Elizabeth Wylie, operated linen mills near Larne, County Antrim. Under the Test Act of 1703 the English held most of the population of Ireland under severe penal restrictions. All marriages and funerals were required to use the Episcopal ritual; Presbyterians were barred from the army and navy and from public offices. With these religious restrictions of the Test Act, injustices of landlords with their rent increases, and with their linen mills failing, the last seven of the ten children listed above of Robert Irvine and Margaret Wylie, his wife, decided to emigrate to America. They sailed from Londonderry, Ireland on the ship "George and Anne", departing of May 9, 1729 with their families, their destination being Philadelphia. Sailing with these seven Irvine brothers was Ephraim McDowell, their brother-in-law, whose wife Margaret had died earleir. They had lived almost a century under religious persecution, to which they might become accustomed, but would never accept."

From his Find A Grave page:

Alexander, 10th Laird of Drum, his brother Robert Irvine of Fedderet, and as well as his two oldest sons, Alexander and Robert, were imprisoned at Edinburgh Castle several times. Robert died in the dungeons. He had escaped the Covenanters in Scotland by going to County Antrim in Ulster, and while there married Elizabeth Wylie. A few months later he returned to Scotland to join the forces being raised in support of the King by Alexander, his older brother. Robert was soon captured by the Covenanters, however, he died on 4 Feb 1645 in Tolbooth Prison in Edinburgh (torn down in 1817). David, his son, was born while he was in prison, but he never saw him.

The Laird's eldest son Alexander, near death, was set free after Montrose's victory over the Covenanters at the Battle of Kilsyth in August 1645. Tradition has it that after he recovered he joined Montrose's army and continued the fight against the Covenanters. He survived the war and married Lady Mary Gordon in 1643. Alexander succeeded his father as the 11th Laird of Drum when the elders died in 1657.

Robert's son David married Sophia Gault and had a son named Robert who married Margaret Wylie. Robert and Margaret had 10 children;

  • 1. Margaret who married Ephraim McDowell;
  • 2. Thomas who married and settled in Cushendal, Ireland; and

Sex: M 1

Marriage 1 Margaret Wylie b: 1670 in Londonderry, Ireland

Children

Robert was the son of David Irvine (1640, Ireland) and Sophia Gault. Irvine family can be traced to King Alpin and Queen Fergusia of Scotland.

Dr. Christopher Irvine, historian to King Charles II in 1687, stated that the Irvines, made their first appearance on the Scottish border during the reign of King Malcolm II (1002-1034), having been sent there as a bulwark against the Saxons of Cumberland. For hundreds of years, the Irvines have lived on the lands bordering the Solway between Nith and Esk, in Annandale, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, where they were once a powerful clan. From Annandale, younger sons migrated to other parts of Scotland and the north of Ireland and England. The most important branches of the clan are those of Bonshaw, Hoddom, and Drum, in Scotland, and the Castle Irvine in Ireland. Other Irvine families have their seats in Perthshire, Ayrshire in Galloway, home of the MacDowells, and the Orkneys.

There is no district in all of Ireland so rich in armorial bearings as the neighborhood of Lame. The churchyards of Carncastle, Glynn, and Raloo abound with them. The churchyard of Raloo is over-grown with long grass and weeds, so as to be almost inaccessible. But one may pull aside obstructions and remove lichens from the tall gray tombstones; trace the arms carved upon them, and read the names of the Craigs, McDowells, Crawfords, Boyds, and others.

THE AMERICAN IRVINES:

The American Irvines, many of them, are of Scotch descent, being descended in a direct and unbroken line from the ancient houses of Bonshaw Drum, and Castle Irvine, Ireland.

Robert Irvine fled from Dumfriesshire, Scotland, to Glencoe, Ireland, in 1584. He married Elizabeth Wylie, and they had one son, David, who married Sophia Gault, whose family were of the nobility of Scotland, and descended from the Shaws, who built Ballygally Castle on the shore of Larne in 1625. Above the entrance door of this castle is this inscription: "God's Providence is my inheritance." Previous to the time of their building Ballygally Castle on the shore of Larne, they had been Lairds of Greenock in Scotland. The Shaws intermarried with the Bissets...

...Robert Irvine married Margaret Wylie, and had ten children born to him, viz.: Margaret, who married her cousin, Ephraim McDowell; Mary, who married her cousin, John Wylie (both Mary and Margaret died in Ireland, and lie buried in the old churchyard of Raloo); Thomas, who married and settled in Cushendal, Ireland, where he lived and died, and where his descendants now reside; Alexander, who married a kinswoman, a Miss Gault; George, David, William, Robert, James and Samuel. John and Robert Irvine were the sons of James, who was the son of Christopher, who fell at Flodden Field, 1513, and who was born after his death.

The seven last named Irvine's all came to America between the years of 1725 and 1731. Alexander Irvine lived in Scotland, and he and his brother, Robert, were at a hunt in Argyleshire, where Alexander got into a difficulty with a man and gave him wounds from which he died. He and Robert fled from Scotland, in hunting dress, and came, by night, to Glencoe. Alexander was afterwards pardoned for his offense and returned to Scotland, and came from there to America; landed at Philadelphia, and went from there to Bedford county, Virginia.

Following from Clan Irving website [2] There is no district in all of Ireland so rich in armorial bearings as the neighborhood of Lame. The churchyards of Carncastle, Glynn, and Raloo abound with them. The churchyard of Raloo is over-grown with long grass and weeds, so as to be almost inaccessible. But one may pull aside obstructions and remove lichens from the tall gray tombstones; trace the arms carved upon them, and read the names of the Craigs, McDowells, Crawfords, Boyds, and others. In the churchyard of Raloo, Margaret McDowell lies buried. She was the wife of Ephraim McDowell, and daughter of Robert Irvine.

There is an old book, more than six hundred years old (I was told), that I found at Fair Hill, near Larne. It had belonged to successive sextons for hundreds of years, from the dates it contained, the last one being 1775, and giving a description of the flag adopted by the American Colonies. It is written in longhand, and has pen-pictures of the Coats of Arms of the Carlisles, Earls of Kilmarnock, McDowells, Irvines, Johnstons, Crawfords, and Blairs, and many others not connected with this history. In the beginning of the book this appears, written in a clerkly hand:

"Nobilitatis virtus non stemma" (virtue, not pedigree, is the mark of nobility).

Says this same old chronicle: "A son, who was named James, was born to Christopher Irvine, shortly after he fell at Flodden Field. He had two sons, Robert and John, who fled to Ireland in time of the English persecution, and settled at Glenoe. John afterwards removed to Cushandall and became a Presbyterian minister. John Irvine had two sons, one named Abraham, the other Robert, who went to America, and Robert Irvine Sr., had sons who went to America.

Robert Irvine built a house, in 1585, of red limestone, roofed in by slate. It stands just outside of the village of Glenoe. Passing down the one long street of that village, bordered on each side by tall stone houses, once the property of the Irvines and McDowells, one is struck by the good repair in which they remain, after with-standing the storms of centuries. The blacksmith-shop of Ephraim McDowell looks as if he had laid his hammer down but yesterday, and gone with his brothers-in-law, Alexander Irvine (not his brother-in-law then, as Ephraim was a mere lad, as was Alexander Irvine also), to Londonderry to fight for "The Faith" behind the weak walk, in time of the famous siege. Ephraim was fifty years old when he came to America.

I followed the narrow, rocky street until I came to the mills, once belonging to the Irvines, Wylies, and McDowells. The mill-wheels are still now, and moss and rust-covered, and the mills are open to the night-birds, and afford homes for tramps, who sometimes seek lodging in that picturesque spot.

The Ballyvallog furnished the water power that turned these wheels of the many mills, so sadly silent now. It is a narrow stream and runs across a beautiful brae, falling seventy-five feet into a well-shaped opening in solid rock, into a pool that no plum-met has ever fathomed. From this pool the water leaps over an immense stone that crosses the space at the bottom of the opening of this well, formed by nature, and just opposite the waterfall. The village of Glenoe is the most silent place I ever saw. If any business is carried on there, I couldn?t discern it. It seems but a monument of the long ago.

Excerpts from: "The Irvines and Their Kin" by L. Boyd Robert Irvine (1655, Ireland) was the grandson of Sir Christopher Irvine killed in 1513 at Flodden Field, Northumberland, England. Robert was the son of David Irvine (1640, Ireland) and Sophia Gault. Irvine family can be traced to King Alpin and Queen Fergusia of Scotland.
