p. 22 4. JOHN CORBIN (Clement), b. about 1660, was named in 1674 "with his father" in a list of the inhabitants of Muddy River.  He was a soldier in Capt. Johnson's company in King Philip's War in 1675.  (See under "Corbins in the Wars.")  Although only about fifteen years of age, he was a member of the Roxbury militia, being in Capt. Isaac Johnson's company, the 4th, of the Massachusetts regiment organized for the war against the Narragansett Indians.
Capt. Johnson reported to the Council in Boston in 1675 that the committee had taken "veiuew of there Armes and Amunision and cloathing: — sum of them had sum damage in there musquets — which we doe intreat sum order may be taken that they may be mended by sum warrant from Authoritee: privat indeavors having been hitherto unsecsesefull: one or two spack of sum want of convenient cloathing: which we humbly leave To the consideration of Authoritee."

In the attack on the great swamp fort Dec. 19, 1675, Capt. John's company was at the front.  Capt. Johnson was killed at the beginning of the fight, three others were killed and eight wounded.

Only a meager record of John Corbin's life has come down to us.  He married and had at least one child, Hannah or Joanna, who married Nathaniel Sessions March 2, 1706-7, at Woodstock, by Rev. Josiah Dwight.  This Nathaniel Sessions was born in Andover, Mass., August 8, 1681, and after his marriage settled in Pomfret, Conn., and became the ancestor of numerous descendants.  (For these see the "Sessions Genealogy," also the compiler's "History of Union, Conn."  This Nathaniel Sessions afterwards received land in Greenwich, Mass., on account of the services of his father-in-law, John Corbin, in King Philip's War.

The Rev. Laban Ainsworth (a descendant of Mary, Mary, James, Clement) stated that John Corbin went to England with his brother Thomas and died there.
