Good Day,
I am desparately hoping that other Ervin researchers can help me break my brick wall for Martha Ervin. I know nothing about her parents or siblings.
Martha Ervin was born 3 Jul 1785 in Byram Township, Sussex, New Jersey and died 6 Apr 1828 in Center Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. It is thought she married in 1798 to John Rose in Byram Township, Sussex, New Jersey. John Rose was born 30 Jan 1782 in Sussex Co, NJ and died 12 Sep 1867 in Mt. Chestnut, Butler Co., PA.
I know that John is in Butler Co Pa ca 1800. Presumbably Martha came with him from NJ. He is buried in Mt Chestnut cemetery in Butler Co. There is no stone there for Martha but presumably she is next to him. They had several children Jacob, John, Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Andrew, Benjamin, and Martha.
After Martha died John married Mary (Polly) Stevenson. She is the daughter of Nathanial and Mary Allen Stevenson. Polly and John had 3 children Kezia, James S, and Rebecca Jane.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
