Marriage-1: 16 Feb 1785, Baltimore Co., MD, by Rev. DAVIS

Death: 14 Dec 1828, Union Twp., Huntingdon Co., PA

Marriage-2:

Wife-2: Elizabeth __?__
Birth: 1790

Children with Sarah KELLEY:

— born in Baltimore Co., MD:
1. Edith CORBIN, b. 1785; m. Emanuel PEIGHTAL
2. Caleb CORBIN, b. 1 Dec 1785
3. Joshua CORBIN, b. 22 Apr 1789; d. ca. 1844 — to OH
4. Charlotte / Charlotta CORBIN, b. 8 Apr 1793; d. 1836 — to OH
5. Eleanor "Ellen" CORBIN, b. 14 Jun 1797
6. Ianthe / Iantha "Anthy" CORBIN, b. 1794-1804
7. Delia CORBIN, b. 8 May 1795

— born in Huntingdon Co., PA:
9. Benjamin CORBIN, b. 19 Feb 1807
10. Elijah CORBIN, b. 1804-10; d. age 20

Most secondary sources have all the children born in Huntingdon Co., PA, but the 1850 Censuses (and other records) show that all, except Benjamin, were born in Maryland.
If Edith really was born in 1785, then she is either Caleb's twin or Sarah was full-term pregnant when she married Elijah — or Edith is not their daughter.

Children with Elizabeth:

11. LDS. Family Search: Internet Genealogy Service: Ancestral File. Says Elijah was born in 1760. The 1760 date seems more likely than 1764 because, otherwise, he was younger than his wife, which would have been very unusual.
