description: "William Irvine was an Irish-born American physician, military officer, and politician. He served as a surgeon in the Royal Navy during the Seven Years' War before settling down in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. As tensions escalated between the Thirteen Colonies and the British government during the 1770s, Irvine sympathized and allied himself with the Patriot cause. He subsequently served as a brigadier general in Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and served in the war's western theater. After the war Irvine served in the Continental Congress, and later played an active role in ending the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania. He also served one term in Congress representing Pennsylvania, and was also active in the state's other public affairs."
