William Irvin/Ervin of Augusta Co. VA

I have just started to pull information about my line of Irvin/Ervin. I am looking for the parentage of Ann Irvin who married in Augusta Co. VA c1750 to John Brooks. They removed to Knox Co. TN.

There are a couple of groups of Irvin/Ervin (look at Family Tree DNA Y marker project) I believe do to location I am interested in the family of Francis Irvin & Agnes Carleton. Their son Edward "Ned" Irvin located from PA down to Augusta Co. VA (now Rockingham Co. VA area). I know the names of his sons and no Wm. Irvin.

Found in "The Fairfax Land Suit" complied by Hunter Branson McKay (my great-uncle) Wm. Ervin came down from PA by Apr 1737 and contracted with Jost Hite for a piece of land. In the end caught up in the legal court action between Hite, McKay, Duff and Green vs Lord Thomas Fairfax.

I believe said Wm. was the father of my Anne, because their is no other left. By land deed gift in 1762 we know Wm. gift land to his son Henry whereon he still lived.

I believe Jared Ervin was another son of this Wm. Because Edward "Ned" Ervin did not have a son named Jared.

I need to know if Francis & Agnes (Carleton) Irvin had other children than just Edward "Ned" Irvin. She would have been 40 years of age at the time of his birth. It is reasonable she had other sons who also removed to PA.

Thank you for your time
