Irvin?s Ferry is shown on a website called ?Halifax County Virtual Tours, South of the Dan Historic Tour? (http://www.oldhalifax.com/county/SouthoftheDanTour.htm). There it explains that ?the stage coach route from Norfolk [Virginia] to Milton, North Carolina, came through old South Boston [Virginia] crossing the [Dan] river about 4 miles upstream at Irvin's Ferry. The coach would have stopped at the "Bloomsburg" store and post office at Glenn's corner and then headed south on Mount Carmel, or Stage Road, now Wilkins Road?.
