Madison County KyArchives Biography

Author: The Biographical Encyclopaedia of Kentucky, 
J. M. Armstrong & Company, 1878

Capt. Christopher Irvine was a native of Virginia, and came to Kentucky in 
1778, settling in Madison County. In 1786, at the head of a company, he 
marched with Gen. Logan against the Indians in Northern Ohio; with his 
brother, Col. William Irvine, built Irvine's Station, near Richmond; was a man 
of great energy, vigorous intellect, and uncommon daring; stood universally 
high among the pioneers.  He was killed in an expedition against the Indians 
into Ohio. In honor of him and his brother (Captain William), Irvine, Estill 
County, was named.  His widow married Richard Hickman, who became Lieutenant-
Governor of Kentucky, and was one of the most worthy of the early men of this 
State.
