 | | K.C. Irving is the greatgrandson of this man, who braved the Atlantic for unknown fortunes in the colonies. |
 | | When he was 21 years old, J.D. Irving moved to Buctouche from an area now known as Beersville, Kent County, where the first Irving to come to Canada had built a home and cleared a 200 acre farm. |
 | | The Irving organization of today can boast Canada's largest oil refinery, the western hemisphere's first deep-water terminal, a modern shipyard, large forest production operations, pulp and paper mills, bus and transport companies, newspaper and broadcasting companies and, of course, thousands of Irving service stations throughout eastern Canada. |
