J. Hile Ervin, son of George and Sarah (McClasky) Ervin, was born in Iredell 
County, N.C., March 8, 1810. He came to Wayne County, Ind., in 1814, where his 
father built a small log cabin near East Germantown. His father bought eighty 
acres of land, where he resided four years, when he entered 600 acres of land 
from the Government, on which he built a small house and leased it to a party, 
but two years later bought the party out and resided on the land till his 
death, in 1850, at the age of eighty years. His wife, who was a native of 
North Carolina, died in 1858. They had six children---Hiram, Leander, Eliza, 
Clarissa (who died when thirteen years of age), Sarah E. and Hile, our 
subject. All lived to maturity except Clarissa. All are now deceased except J. 
Hile and Sarah E., who keeps house for her brother, he having never married. 
Our subject, on attaining majority, engaged in farming, which he has since 
followed, and now owns 243 acres of valuable land, which he has gained by 
economy and industry.
