To Irwinton Mills

In the limestone mansion house still standing, lived Archibald Irwin and Jean McDowell, his wife. To them were born two daughters. Jane, the elder, became the wife of William Henry Harrison, Jr., and was mistress of the White House during the brief presidency of the father, General Harrison, in 1841. Elizabeth married John Scott Harrison and became the mother of Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third President of the United States.
