Jared Erwin's daughters Agnes and Elizabeth married brothers John and William Armstrong, respectively.
A. Jared Erwin in Rockingham County
The earliest records of Jared Erwin are during the time when he lived in that part of Augusta County which became Rockingham County.
In 1765 Jared Erwin purchased 135 acres on Howell's branch, a branch of Beaver Creek.
In 1767 Jared Erwin had a survey made for 51 acres on Briery Branch.
From their headwaters on Shenandoah Mountain in Rockingham County, Beaver Creek and Briery Branch flow southeast. First Beaver Creek joins Briery Branch; then Briery Branch joins North River a few miles west of the town of Bridgewater. In Augusta County, Thorny Branch flows northeast past Sangerville to joins North River at the Augusta-Rockingham boundary line. Mossy Creek flows north to join the North River a little ways downstream of the junction of Briery Branch with North River. And Long Glade Creek flows north-northeast to join North River on the southern side of Bridgewater.
It was along Long Glade Creek, Mossy Creek, and Thorny Branch that Edward Erwin and his sons settled. Despite this close proximity to Howells Branch and Briery Branch, the area where Jared Erwin presumably resided, no one has yet been able to establish a familial connection between Jared Erwin and the family of Edward Erwin, the so-called "Long Glade Erwins". See, for example,

Howell's branch might be the unnamed intermittent stream which parallels road
731 and then crosses the road just before it joins Beaver Creek. A little
further upstream on Beaver Creek, Redbanks Run flows into Beaver Creek.
But see also the discussion below that says Howell's Branch was later called Waggy Creek and even later Woods Creek.

Here is a discussion of where Howell's Branch may be located:
http://www.oocities.org/heartland/6173/philip_waggy_sr.htm [note: this link is now outdated]
...
There is a branch of Beaver Creek flowing through a beautiful little valley
which is known as Waggy Creek. The road parallel [to] this creek is Waggy Creek
Rd. and is marked as such. Undoubtedly this is the stream referred to as
Howell's Branch. G.K. Harnsberger, a surveyor of Rockingham County, said
that as far as he could determine, Howell's Branch is the part of Beaver
Creek that comes out of Wheelbarger Hollow. Above Ottobine (Va.), Beaver
Creek is presently called Woods Creek but on old county maps that part is
called Waggy Creek.
You may recall the Waggy Creek Rd. sign on the first
page. Beaver Creek is southwest of Harrisonburg and west of the town of
Bridgewater, Va. As far as is known, no one has tried to pinpoint the
exact location of Philip Waggy's land along this stream. As he lived here
around twenty-nine years and had a large family, it is understandable that
he became a well known resident.
http://family.beacondeacon.com/wagykisr.htm
...
Courts today strive to be accurate with the spelling of names but in pioneer times there was much carelessness, due
undoubtedly to the lack of education. In ABSTRACT OF LAND GRANT SURVEYS 1761-1791 by Peter C. Kaylor we
have the earliest mention yet found concerning Philip Waggy, Sr. It reads as follows: "Phillip Waggy, 220 acres, Howel
Branch of Beaver Creek. . . ." (p.107)
...
It was a pleasant surprise to learn recently that there is a branch of Beaver Creek flowing through a beautiful little valley
which is known as WAGGY CREEK. Undoubtedly there is the stream referred to as Howel Branch. As far as is known,
no one has tried to pin point the exact location of Philip Waggy's land along this stream. As he lived here around

band of 60 to 70 men. They resisted the payment of taxes,
and at their meetings they drank toasts to the health of the
king and damnation to Congress. General Daniel Morgan,
the hero of the Cowpens, was sent against them in the summer
of 1781, and smothered the insurrection in a few days. The
tories were pardoned. Claypole appealing for clemency and
pleading ignorance of the real situation. There was no fight-
ing, although one tory was accidentally shot.
Claypole had followers on the South Fork in Pendleton.
One of these at Fort Seybert, who claimed his oath of al-
legiance was not binding, was taken to Patton's still-tub. He
was doused three times in it before his German obstinacy
was sufficiently soaked out to permit him to hurrah for
Washington. This style of baptism does not seem to have
been administered by Morgan's men. who scarcely came this
far up the river. It was perhaps at the same time that a
party of tories, pursued through Sweedland valley, were no-
ticed to throw the corn pone out of their haversacks, so as to
make better time with their feet.
The other center of disturbance was in the south and south-
west of the county, where its memory lingers in the name of
Tory Camp Run, Randolph county. Here Uriah Grady headed
a band of tory refugees. The leader in this quarter was one
William Ward. There were two men of this name, an older
and a younger, the latter being perhaps no more than a boy
at the time of the Revolution. The elder William Ward was
a South Carolinian and is first mentioned in 1753. In 1763
he was a road surveyor, and in 1774 he was a soldier in the
Dunmore war. In 1765 he was under sheriff of Augusta. In
1781 he was living on the Blackthorn. For "tumult and se-
dition words" he was bound over by the court of Rocking-
ham in the sum of 1000 pounds, Andrew Erwin being his
surety. The next year (l780) he was delivered up by Erwin
and Ralph Loftus, another surety, was given a jury trial,
fined 100 pounds, and given twenty-four hours in jail. The
records at Staunton say that he was found guilty of treason
in Augusta and sent to the capital for trial. Erwin was him-
self indicted for "propagating some news tending to raise
tumult and sedition in the state."
John Davis, apparently a resident of the North Fork, was
p.64
adjudged guilty of treason by the Rockingham court and
sent up to the General Court. His bondsmen were Seraiah
Stratton, William Gragg, and James Rogers. In 1779 Henry
Peninger was indicted for "speaking disrespectful and dis-
graceful words of the Congress and words leading to the de-
preciation of the Continental currency." A true bill was re-
turned against him. His bond was fixed at 5000 pounds, and
those of his sureties, Sebastian Hoover and Henry Stone,
were each of half that amount. Peninger informed on one
Gerard[sic-Jared Erwin], but he himself did not appear for trial.

Gerard was corrected to Jared Erwin in Morton's Supplement:

P. 63 (19 up): "Gandy" not Grady."
P. 63 (17 up): In this paragraph three distinct William Wards are
confounded. There was William Ward of the Borden Tract, who returned
from a stay in South Carolina and settled in Botetourt, where he was a man
of affairs in the Revolution and held high rank in the militia. Another
William Ward was reared at Warm Springs, fought in the battle of Point
Pleasant, was a sheriff of Greenbrier, and finally moved to Ohio, where in
1805 he founded the city of Urbana. William Ward the tory was probably
of the Wards who settled on the South Branch near Moorfield.
This tory leader was bound by the court of Rockingham, March 27,
1780, on the complaint of uttering words "tending to raise tumults and
disorders." The trial mentioned was the next August. The jury was
chosen from east of Shenandoah Mountain. July 13, 1781, there was a
called session of the Augusta court to consider the complaints against Cap-
tain William Ward and his lieutenant, Lewis Baker. Captain Robert Davis,
Henry Swadley, John Snyder, and Christian Stone were held as witnesses
in the proceedings at Richmond. Within a few days Ward and those con-
fined with him broke jail. It was probably just after this escape that Ward
and four of his followers concealed themselves in a cave on the course of the
Blackthorn. This retreat was a veritable fortress, and the refugees were
prepared for a siege. One morning, while the men were at the bank of the
creek, some one hundred yards below the perpendicular cliff in which was
the entrance to the cavern, they heard a muffled roar above. It turned out
to be a fall of earth and rock, completely blocking the way to their under-
ground home. Even to this day the cave has never been reopened. It must
have been shortly after this predicament that a meeting was arranged be-
tween Robert Davis and William Ward,the leaders, respectively,of the patri-
ot and tory factions in Pendleton. The conference took place within
sight of the home of Davis. The spot is where the road from Brandywine
crosses a little slate ridge on the farm of Laban C. Davis. Ward promised
good behavior and the local hostilities came to an end. There was more rea-
son for this result, because the date of the parley must have been near the
time of the surrender of Cornwallis. It is not known that any person ex-
cept Hoover was killed during this guerilla warfare, but tradition states
that several were wounded. The books of the state auditor for October 18,
1781, mention the sum of 2375 pounds 2 shillings (depreciated money)
ordered paid to Robert Davis and others for sundries on behalf of the mi-
litia called out.
P. 64 (10 down): For "Gerard" read "Jared Erwin."

------
My 4g grandfather, William Ward,
came from England and spent a year in Washington's army. He was awarded
land patents on acreage in Virginia on the Black Thorn River in what is
now Pendleton County, near Franklin, W. Virginia. At the time of the
patent in 1781, that was apparently part of Augusta County. In 1802 he
sold his acreage in Virginia and moved with his entire family to Ohio,
settling in Pickaway and Fairfield counties..
According to one version, he had a brother (unnamed). Another had
him arriving as an indentured servant. He married Nancy Courtney in
Virginia, about 1775.
I have been stonewalled trying to trace his ancestry back to England,
or to find any siblings. I guess I'll just include what I know. I wish
some of this would fit into your research. John Ward
William was a private in Capt. Francis Taylor's company (No. 8) in
the 2nd Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. Alexander Spottswood from
March 28, 1777 to Sept. 30, 1777 and then until March 1778 when the
regiment was under the leadership of Col. Christian Febiger. He was paid
$6.66 per month and was at Brandywine and Germantown and spent the
winter at Valley Forge. When he mustered out in March of 1778, he
received $2.66 since he only served 12 days that month. He migrated from
either Hampshire or Liverpool, England, to Pendleton County, Va., and
later to Pickaway, Fairfield and Allen counties in Ohio.
In 1780 he moved to an area along the Blackthorn River near
Franklin VA (Now West Virginia). He obtained a patent for 160 acres
along that river on March 1, 1781. He paid one pound sterling ($2.80).
He also obtained a patent for 35 acres along the Blackthorn River. The
patent was issued under the administration of Thomas Jefferson.
Pendleton County was formed from Augusta, Rockingham and Hardy counties
on 12/4/1787. William was one of seven constables appointed at that
time.
He added to his holdings in Virginia by buying 50 acres on
12/13/1794; 125 acres on 9/26/1796 and 230 acres on 5/27/1797, all along
the Blackthorn.
He lived in Virginia until May of 1802, moving to Walnut Twp.,
Pickaway County. He sold his 600 acres of land in Pendleton County for
200 pounds to James Botkin. ...

The upper Cowpasture settlement included the bottoms on that
river between Laurel Gap and the mouth of Shaw's Fork and on the
lower course of the latter stream. Here were the Devericks, Erwin,
Gwin, Johns, Shaw, and Steuart families.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A note about the county in which Jared Erwin lived:
The land on the Cowpasture where Jared Erwin settled was originally in Augusta County. When Pendleton County was initially created, Jared's land remained in Augusta County. A few years later, Bath County was created, and Jared's land became a part of that county. A few years later, the southeastern boundary of Pendleton County was moved several miles southward, and Jared's land became part of Pendleton County. Thus personal property tax records show that from 1782 to 1790 he was listed in Augusta County, from 1791 to 1796 in Bath County, and from 1797 onward in Pendleton County.

The oldest names I have are Thomas Douglass who had 5 chidlren. Robert, James and 3 unknown. My line comes through James who married Mary Erwin and had 7 children. Levi, Robert, Ruben, Susan, John Sterling, Thomas, and William. Do any of these sound familiar. I am sure there are other lines that I can't identify. Especially since I dont have the names of Thomas's other children who came from Scotland.

Be aware, however, that there was another individual also named John Erwin who died shortly after 25 December 1811 "unmarried, intestate, and without lawfull issue of his body". This John's estate was settled by his brother Benjamin Erwin. According to the Chancery records in the Library of Virginia's Virginia Memory, there was an 1813 Chancery case in Augusta County with the plaintiffs being identified as the administrators of John Erwin, and the defendants being identified as the executors of Jared Erwin. See the Virginia Memory digital images at http://www.lva.virginia.gov/chancery/case_detail.asp?CFN=015-1813-090 .
An examination of the twenty digitized images indicates that most images refer a case in which the plaintiff was Benjamin Erwin (brother of John Erwin) and the defendant was John Baxter. This case was summarized in Chalkley's Chronicles:
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/augusta/court/2court7.txt
CHRONICLES OF THE SCOTCH-IRISH SETTLEMENT OF VIRGINIA; Vol 2, p. 53
CIRCUIT COURT CAUSES ENDED.
Erwin vs. Baxter--Causes ended--O. S., 444; N. S., 165. Benjamin
Erwin in 1811, 25th December, purchased from his brother John a tract
on Little Back Creek in Bath. Shortly afterwards John died intestate,
unmarried; John bought from John Baxter; Benj. sues for title.
Of the twenty digitized images, only images 14 and 19 contain any mention of the executors of Jared Erwin:

Rules 1812 cond Bill
Thus it would appear that the Library of Virginia has accidentally merged together papers from two separate and unrelated court cases. Most pages come from the case in which Benjamin Erwin (administrator for the estate of his brother John Erwin who died unmarried) sued John Baxter for title to land on Little Back Creek. The other case involved the administrators of John Erwin of Kentucky (namely, John Peebles and Andrew Simpson) versus the executors of Jared Erwin (namely, his widow Elizabeth and son George).

More info on John Erwin (son of Jared and Elizabeth Erwin) of Montgomery Co., Kentucky:
In the 1810 census of Montgomery County, Kentucky, there is an Andrew Simpson and a John Peebles.
In the 1820 census of Montgomery County, Kentucky, there is an Andrew Simpson and a Jane Erwin. Presumably Jane was the widow of John Erwin.

George Erwin
Birth: Feb. 4, 1835
Death: Jan. 15, 1910
GEORGE W. ERWIN was born February 4, 1835, at Greensboro, Hale County, AL, the youngest of 2 known surviving children (1 boy/1 girl) born to wealthy planter, John Erwin, Jr. [1799-1860] and his wife, Eliza Margaret Chadwick.
The Erwin family is of Scotch-Irish ancestry. He was the paternal grandson of John Erwin Sr, (1799-1860)[sic - 1769-1810] born in Pendleton, VA, who married Jane Peebles and settled in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. On his mother's side, he is descended from the Chadwicks who emigrated from England to Pennsylvania, from there to North Carolina, and then to Kentucky with Daniel Boone. He was the paternal grandson of John Chadwick & Karen/Keren Happauch Shortridge of Catlettsburg, Greenup Co, KY, ho lived in the old fort at the mouth of Big Sandy Creek, KY, and of whom it was said to have been the first white child born in the state of Kentucky. Also on his mother's side, he was great-grandson of Judge Eli Shortridge of Alabama.
His parents moved to Alabama in about 1821 where his father established himself as an influential attorney, slaveholder, and a Democratic politician. He built the now historic "Glencairn" plantation (house) in 1835, a lavish southern mansion. He served in the Alabama Senate in 1831, and the lower house in 1836-37 and 1842. John Erwin owned 169 slaves in 1860 and was a leader in the secession movement that lead to the formation of the Confederate States of America.
George gained his early schooling at Greensboro and at Green Springs, under the instruction, at the latter place, of Henry Tutwiler; and attended the University of Virginia, 1854-1856. On October 14, 1856 the 21-year old married 19-year old Fanny Iredell Jones, daughter of Cadwallader Jones & Annie Isabella Iredell, daughter of the late NC Governor, James Iredell, Jr. The marriage took place at his bride's hometown in Hillsboro, North Carolina just after her husband completed his education at the University of Virginia.
The couple would soon reside at George's family plantation ""Glencairn" in Greensboro, AL where they would become parents to 8 known children (3 boys/5 girls): John (1858), Annie (1860), Frances (ca. 1862), George (ca. 1864), Margaret (1865), Rebecca Frances (1868), Ethel (1872), and Cadwallader Erwin (1875).
George devoted himself to planting until the outbreak of the War of Secession, when he joined the Confederate States Army as Second Lieutenant of the Greensboro Guards, assigned to Fort Morgan. Following the war, Erwin managed to keep his personal wealth intact, but the the value of his property was greatly diminished after emancipation. A notable and contributing citizen of the community, George served as a member of the State Legislature from 1883-1884; and was elected President of the School Board of Hale County from 1895 to 1901. He was a Democrat; an Episcopalian; and a Royal Arch Mason.
His father, John Erwin, died in 1860 and George inherited "Glencairn", which is today a historic home in Greensboro. This two-story Greek Revival wood frame structure were recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1935; then the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 18, 1978, due to its architectural and historical significance. The historic property includes former slave quarters. After George died, the house passed to his son Cadwallader Erwin, and remained in the family until his death in 1955.
George W. Erwin died in 1910 at age 75. His wife of 54 years survived him 16 years, passing in 1926 at age 89.
George's only sibling, Catherine Erwin, who was ten years his senior, married Col. Allen Cadwallader Jones, of Hillsboro, Orange Co, NC. who was his wife's uncle; the older brother of her father, Col. Cadwallader Jones, III, so this family was doubly related through marriage. Catherine & Col. Allen Jones are also buried here in Greenwood, as are their parents, John Erwin Jr. & Eliza Margaret Chadwick Erwin.
