CLUES FOR YOU:
I have a family group sheet for Nathaniel Irwin, Jr. Family:
Please keep in mind that this comes from the Irwin Fam. Reunion
book and the people did not provide documentation.

Nathaniel Irwin (5) b.1797 d.26 Sept 1880
Hannah (Strong) Irwin b.1812 d.1857
(Both apparently were buried at Seceder Cemetery, Chest. Co.)

CH:
Franscina (6) b.15 Jun 1823 h/Christian Mowday
John C.(6) b.1833 (killed in Civil War)
James C. (6) b.1835 d.28 May 1880 A:44y 5m 12d
Amazi B. (6) b1826? d.1879 A:58y
Sanford (6) no info
Rachel S. (6) b.1830 h/Phineas Ash
Elizabeth (6) b.1828 d.18/19 Jan 1910 A:82y (unmarried)
George H. (6) b.1838 no further info
Thomas S. (6) b. 1844 no further info

Note at the bottom states:
Ann Jane b.1821 d.1896 h/Robert K. Collom
Mary Elizabeth b. 23 Dec 1827 d.25 Dec 1890 h/John Collom
(Ann and Mary were sisters, Robert and John were brothers)
[They appear to have been the daughters of Nathaniel, Jr. and
Hannah (Strong) Irwin, but again, no documentation was provided for the entry.]

Someone copied the Seceder Cem. Names and Dates from Stones:
Apparently Nathaniel, Jr. and Hannah are buried there, and
James, Amzi B.(sic), and Elizabeth, also.

Seceder Cem is about 3-6 miles East on Rte 322 (from Honeybrook) turn south
at immediately before Brandywine Manor
Presbyterian Church (where most of the others are buried) and
proceed south to the "Y" in the road. Seceder Cem. is directly across from
you in the point of the "Y".

The information above should be considered "close" but not
totally accurate. In your email before Christmas, you seemed
to be in the correct area for these folks.

How are you related?

Happy New Year, Everybody!
