James Covington CORBIN

Children with Nellie Florence MIDDLETON:

— born in Sanford, Accomack Co., VA:
1. James Perring CORBIN, b. 31 Jul 1907; d. 14 Oct 2004; last residence Roanoke, Botetort Co., VA
2. Alton Spencer Douglas CORBIN, b. 28 Jan 1909; d. 31 Dec 1997; last residence Princeton, Caldwell Co., KY
3. Arnold Thomas CORBIN, b. 17 Feb 1913; d. 20 Sep 1971, Norfolk, Norfolk Co., VA
4. Emma F. CORBIN, b. 29 Aug 1914; d. 28 Sep 1971/81, Washington, Beaufort Co., NC

— born in Pocomoke, Worcester Co., MD:
5. Donald Maxwell CORBIN, b. 12 Oct 1916; d. 30 Jun 2006; last residence, Nelsonia, Accomack Co., VA

Biological Child with Wife-2(?) or an Adopted(?) Child:

6. Elizabeth CORBIN, b. 1922/3, MD

Elizabeth was born after the death of Nellie MIDDLETON, but before James's marriage to Marie PICKEN. One would suspect she is Marie's child from a former marriage, except that in the 1930 census, Marie gives her age at first marriage as 31. Unless the enumerator erred in entering her age at second marriage, instead of her age at first marriage, she wouldn't appear to be Elizabeth's mother; but, in which case, she should have been labeled stepdaughter, not daughter. On the other had, if she was James's daughter from an unknown second marriage, why was she not simply listed in chronological order with James's other children? Another explanation is that she was adopted, but if so, why was she not labeled as adopted?

Child with Marion Marie PICKEN — born in MD, presumably Worcester Co., MD:

7. Charles A. CORBIN, b. 1926/7

The above Charles is almost certainly this one, but we need confirmation:
. Charles Andrew CORBIN, b. 24 Sep 1926; d. 23 Jan 1996; last residence, Chesapeake City-Co., VA

Marie's parents were born in MD. Is Elizabeth really our subject's daughter or is she adopted? Can't find Alton.

(V) = (Verified) Report verified with a family member or someone acting on behalf of a family member.

The above Charles A. CORBIN is obviously the Charles Andrew CORBIN in the obituary, below, and he is almost certainly our subjects's son; however, given that another Charles CORBIN born in 1926 (in VA) exists, we really need something to confirm Charles Andrew as our subject's son. His Social Security application should contain his parents' names.
