My family is from Sligo Ireland. Thomas Elmer Irwin was born in 1819 in Sligo, Ballymote, Ireland. He came to Bruce, Onterio Canada before 1866. His wife, Margaret Hargin, was born in 1848 in Bruce, Onterio Canada. They married in 1866 in Bruce, Onterio. I know they had their 2nd child, Susan, in 1867, in Warren County Illinois. They came across America in a covered wagon and settled in Gravity, Iowa about 1872. They had a son who must have died,at about age 6 who was the oldest as I can not find him in later census records.
