What is recorded here
William Irvine is a birthplace in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland. Perhaps he arrived on November 3, 1741, carrying the quiet confidence of a boy destined to become an Irish-American physician, soldier and politician from Pennsylvania. Maybe the wet Fermanagh air entered his lungs that day and stayed with him across the ocean.
Why this person is known: Irish-American physician, soldier and politician from Pennsylvania
