DAVID CHRISTOPHER IRVINE, was born in Albemarle County, Virginia, in 1779, was the son of one of Kentucky's famous pioneers, Christopher Irvine, and a nephew of another, Col. William Irvine. David C. Irvine was known as Judge Irvine by reason of his service as judge of what was then called the Court of Quarter Session of Madison County. This position he held for many years and at an early age. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, serving with distinction. He served one term in the Kentucky Legislature.He was a large land owner and a very successful business man. When in the prime of life he was stricken and died in 1821. He left a number of sons and daughters, all of whom have passed away, leaving no descendants in our County. He has a grandson, David Irvine Christopher, living at present in Colorado Springs, who is a distinguished physician. He was a charter member of Richmond Lodge and remained a member until his death. He was buried in the family burying ground about one mile west of Richmond on what is now called the Scott place. At his death a charter for a second Masonic Lodge at Richmond was granted. It was named in his honor, Irvine Lodge, and was one of the few charters signed by Mr. Clay while Grand Master. This Lodge forfeited its charter in 1834 and never again resumed work.
