William Irving

I must, however, speak of William Irving,* who was the

second surviving son of James Irving the Elder and to whom reference is made in his Will.

He was born 5th November, 1753, and died in February,

1803, about 50 years of age, to whom his father left an annuity of £300 a year, expressed thus: — "To my dearly beloved son, William Irving, who in his infancy had a fall which at times appears to have affected his judgment or understanding and which makes it improper for him to take the charge or management of a Plantation."

William lived at Hartfield and my information leads me to

state that he was buried at Ironshore, but I have no record of

that fact.
