Edwin CORBIN

Subject: Edwin CORBIN
Birth: 1833/4, SC
Residence in 1850: Barnwell Co., SC, with the family of Washington H. HARVEY

Washington H. HARVEY moved to Columbia Co., FL, in 1854, location of Moses CORBIN in the 1850 census. We know Moses was born in SC, though not where in SC. We also know that his descendants are a genetic match with the descendants of Edward CORBIN, of Beaufort [now Hampton] Co., SC.

James M. HARVEY was also a resident of Barnwell Co., SC, in the 1850 census. He later had a daughter, Martha HARVEY, born in 1853, who married Reuben Allen CORBIN, son of Edward CORBIN of Beaufort/Hampton Co.

What is the connection between Washington HARVEY and James HARVEY?

Is Moses CORBIN from Barnwell Co., SC, and is Edwin his kin? Or is Edwin really Edward, son of Widow Penelope CORBIN, who managed to get himself enumerated twice? (The eldest son of a struggling widow was very likely to be "working out" and, thus, accidentally become enumerated twice, once with his mother and again with his employer.)

In the 1860 census, Moses CORBIN is listed next to a William G. HARVEY in Lafayette [now Dixie] Co., FL, and his son, John CORBIN is living with Simeon HARVEY. It would be hard to believe this is mere coincidence.

W.H. HARVEY is Washington H. HARVEY. Edwin is indexed "Edione Carbin," and I must admit his name is hard to read, but it appears to me to be "Edwin." Note that Edwin and Edward were virtually interchangeable in early records — as were, for example, Hester and Esther.
