Irvine Farm

The Irvine family plantation ("The Clem Irvine" farm) was located in the Long Glade, about 1.5 - 2 miles west of Bridgewater, VA and east of Warm Springs Pike. These pictures were taken in May, 2000 of the area.

Many of my Erwin ancestors are presumably buried in the family graveyard on this farm. In early Virginia history, the Irvine family was very prominent, socially and financially, in this area. At one time, the graveyard was fenced and kept in good condition by the Irvine Family. The markers were very large flat sand stones, lying flat, and covering the graves. However, it went into disrepair after the land passed out of the Erwin family and has since been plowed over.⁶⁵⁰³
