In 1790, there were at least 1600 men, women, and children named Erwin (20 different spellings) in the U.S.A., in 12 different states.  Among these, Pennsylvania recorded 147, and Tennessee showed 96.  So far, I have been unable to link John Spears Erwin with any of these early American settlers, but it is more than likely that he was related to most, if not all of them.
