Alexander Brandon Ervin, Sr. was born 1811 and is my greatx3 grandfather.His brother, Robert, was born in1804 and his son, Robert'Steam Mill' Ervin is Alexander's nephew.So is John Nelson Ervin, who was born in Guernsey Co. 1829.He died in 1879.Alexander married his next door neighbor on 1/1/1835, Lydia Leamon.They named their eldest child after her father and so he was James Leamon Ervin.He died in 10/1887 in an explosion of a stationary steam engine at his sawmill.It killed everyone there but the man standing next to James.It only broke his cane.
