Jerome Benjamin CORBIN
Mary Ann __?__

Husband: Jerome Benjamin CORBIN
Birth: 31 Oct 1818, Lexington Co., SC
Death:
Occupation: school teacher
Father: Samuel CORBIN
Mother: Hannah Caroline __?__

Some secondary sources give our subject a death date in 1888, but his wife is a widow in the 1880 census. The absence of child birthing by his wife after 1860/1 suggests Jerome died during the Civil War.
Some secondary sources show our subject as the son of Samuel CORBIN & Violet HOOD, but — among other things — the early censuses do not show a son Jerome's age living with this couple.

Marriage:

Wife: Mary Ann __?__
Birth: 1822-25, SC
Death: 1899, Jackson Co., FL
Occupation: homemaker

Children:

— born in GA, possibly in Crawford Co., GA:
1. Cornelia CORBIN, b. 1843/4
2. Emily CORBIN, b. 1844/5
3. Samuel H. CORBIN, b. 1847/8; m. Sarah R. KIRKLAND

— born in Macon Co., AL:
4. Sarah CORBIN, b. ca. 1849

— born in either Macon Co., AL, or Dale Co., AL:
5. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte "Boney" CORBIN, b. 1850/1; m. Sarah F. BUSH
6. Mary Alice CORBIN, b. 1852/3
7. William Paul CORBIN, b. 14 Apr 1856
8. Josephine CORBIN, b. 1857
9. George Washington CORBIN, b. 4 Apr 1861

Mary is simply too old to be the mother of the these children. The ten-year gap after the birth of George also suggests these are not Mary's children. So, are they adopted? Are they grandchildren?
10. Mettie CORBIN, b. 1870/1, AL
11. Thaddeus CORBIN, b. 1875/6, AL / TX
