Edward CORBIN
Amanda SLOAN

Two patrilineal descendants of our subject have been Y-DNA tested, with the result that they match a descendant of Simeon Jackson CORBIN of Lafayette Co., FL. They have not yet connected on paper, and their immigrant ancestor remains unidentified, but it is a welcome development that these elusive CORBIN lines have at least found a connection with each other.
