. W.G. Bean. 1959. Stonewall's Man: Sandie Pendleton. University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, NC (excerpts online at books.google.com). Sandie PENDLETON is our subject's son-in-law, so the book contains much useful and interesting information about the family.

. Stella Pickett Hardy. 1911. Colonial Families of the Southern States of America. T.A. Wright, New York, NY (republished 1958, Southern Book Co., Baltimore, MD; republished 1965, Genealogical Publ. Co., Baltimore, MD; online at books.google.com; online at Ancestry.com in such a form as to make it almost impossible to use): You have to search on "John Parke," without the Corbin, if you want to pull him up on a search, but it's not worth seeking this source because the amount of information is miniscule — and Hardy is notoriously inaccurate.
