p. 209 CHAPTER XIII

Husher's Run
This stream is a tributary of Bond's creek... [and] though it is but a small stream, it drains a fertile region, and not a few prominent pioneer names have an association with its history...

p. 214 The Corbins have been prominent citizens of the county for sixty years, and in this chapter they claim a place.
English in origin, they came to America in Colonial times and settled in the "Old Dominion." George Corbin was married to Miss Sallie Jennings, of Virginia, who belonged to the same family as the distinguished William Jennings Bryan, and their son, John W. Corbin, was the head of the Ritchie county family.
John W. Corbin was born in Culpepper County, Virginia, on October 7, 1786, and served as a soldier in the war of 1812. On January 14, 1819, he was married to Miss Rebecca Williams, daughter of James and Barsheba Williams, wo was bon in Monongalia county on February 8, 1803; and from Booth creek, Taylor county, with their large family, they removed to Husher's run in November, 1850. Here they passed away—he on July 24, 1878, and she on April 20, 1885, and both rest in the Ellenboro cemetery.
Their family consisted of thirteen children; viz., Sallie, Oliver Perry, Frances, Alexander M., George, Elizabeth, Ephatha, Ada Joanna, Mariana, Pelina, Josephus, and Ocran Corbin, all of whom married and reared families, except Frances and Mariana, who died in childhood...
