Children — born in Patapsco Lower Hundred, Baltimore Co., MD: |
1. Ezekiel
CORBIN, b. 1757; m1. Ms. __?__; m2. Lydia CORBIN
2. Elijah CORBIN, b. 1760; m. Sarah KELLEY 3. Benjamin CORBIN, b. ca. 1762; m. Eleanor GIVENS 4. Micajah CORBIN, b. 1765; m. Mary KELLEY 5. Joseph CORBIN, b. 1770; m. Nelly GROVER 6. Asahel / Asel / Achel CORBIN, b. 1774; m. Eleanor CORBIN 7. Sarah Ruth CORBIN, b. 30 Apr 1774; m. Nathan GREENLAND 8. Nicodemus CORBIN, b. 1775/78; m. Mary BROWN 9. Keziah CORBIN, b. 1784/5; never married If Asahel really was born in 1774, then he has to be the twin of Sarah Ruth. |
Two additional children have been attached to Benjamin & Sarah
by secondary sources, but they were not mentioned as children of Sarah
(SIAS) CORBIN by her granddaughter, Keziah (GREENLAND) SHANAFELT, in her
letter of 1858 (see below) — and surely a daughter knows the identities
of her mother's surviving siblings. Further supporting that these
two are not our subjects' children is that there is no room for
either Sophia or Shadrach as children in Benjamin & Sarah's 1790 census
record (see below). And, as if we needed more proof, in the 1880
Census, James SIAS, son of James & Sophia (CORBIN) SIAS, indicates
that his mother was born in
North Carolina, which makes it impossible
for Sophia to be Benjamin & Sarah's child because Benjamin & Sarah
were born, lived, and died in Maryland.

The only Benjamin CORBIN in Baltimore County is living in Mine Run Hundred (nowhere near Westminster) and appears to be our subjects' son. 7.
