Henry Robert CORBIN
Marie F. CHAPMAN

WARNING: Secondary sources are confusing our subject with the Henry "Harry" CORBIN, Jr. (b. 17 May 1893, Brooklyn, NY) who was son of Henry & Mary Frances (HASENOHR) CORBIN and married Elizabeth __?__. These are two different men. Ironically, both Henry's were born about the same time in New York, and both named their first two children Virginia and Henry, though in opposite order. Nevertheless, it is a coincidence, and the two men do not appear related. Our subject is a patrilineal descendant of Clement CORBIN (1626-1686), early immigrant to New England, while the other Henry's father is, himself, the immigrant.

Husband: Henry "Harry" Robert CORBIN
Birth: 27 Feb 1890, Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York Co., NY
Death: aft. 1930 census
Occupation: bank clerk, magazine salesman
Health: victim of tuberculosis
Father: Frank CORBIN
Mother: Margaret Jane KENNEY

Marriage: 21 Jun 1914, St. Agnes Catholic Church, St. Louis, MO

Wife: Marie F. CHAPMAN
Birth: 1892/3 or Feb 1894, St. Louis, MO
Death: aft. 1930 census
Occupation: homemaker
Father appears to be: William James CHAPMAN (1857-1921) of OH
Mother appears to be: Cora HIGBEE (1857-1937) of IN

One secondary source says her parents are this couple:
Father: John / Charles CHAPMAN of Callaway Co., MO
Mother: Katherine Virginia FINLEY (1867-1946) of St. Louis, MO
but I cannot find any such couple in the 1900 census, much less one with a daughter, Marie (or Maria or Mary or M.). On the other hand, see the CADI, below.

This record appears to be the source of Marie's mother's maiden name being FINLEY, but have two Marie's been mixed up here? Other possibilities is that Cora HIGBEE was married more than once or simply that the informant for the death certificate was in error.
