Nathan CORBIN
Sarah JAMES
Husband:  Nathan CORBIN, Sr.
Birth:  1738
Death:  1803
Father:  Nicholas CORBIN
Marriage:  16 Oct 1758, Baltimore Co., MD
Wife:  Sarah JAMES
Birth:  10 Feb 1733, Baltimore Co., MD
Father:  William JAMES
Mother:  Frances __?__

Sarah's birthdate is almost certainly incorrect, for two reasons:  1) men only very rarely married women older than themselves, and 2) if she was born in 1733, then she would have been 55 years of age when she birthed Abraham, which is biologically impossible.  "1733" was probably someone's misreading of "1738" or, more likely, a typo of "1743."  Getting married at 15 is much less far-fetched than having a baby at 55, or even 50.

Children — born in Baltimore [or Harford?] Co., MD:
1.  John CORBIN, b. 31 Mar 1760 
2.  Shadrach CORBIN, b. 1766, Gunpowder, Baltimore Co., MD
3.  (Daughter A — Margaret?) CORBIN, b. 1774-84
4.  Nathan CORBIN, Jr., b. 17 Jun 1776 
5.  Abraham CORBIN, b. 6 Mar 1788; bap. 26 Aug 1792, Baltimore Co., MD 

Based on early geographic proximity in MD, these are very likely Nathan & Sarah's children, though they do not appear later in Clermont Co., OH:
Thomas CORBIN, b. bef. 1774; m. 1790, Harford Co., MD, Nancy TURNER 
Delia CORBIN, b. 1774-84; m. 1797, Harford Co., MD, Thomas TURNER 

There is a Margaret CORBIN (b. 1775/6, MD) in the 1850 census of Clermont Co., OH (living with the DOUGHTY family), who, if unmarried rather than a widow, may be "Daughter A."

They could not have been in Ohio as early as 1788 (only explorers and trappers — and Amerinds — were in the Northwest Territory that early, not European settlers), and Abraham's baptism in 1792 proves they were still in Maryland.

1 female 45 or over in or bef. 1755 = Sarah (b. 1743)
Nathan, Jr., and Sophia are newlyweds.

1820 OH Clermont Co. Ohio Twp. p. 29/56 Ln. 18 Sarah Corbin 000100-00011-0-000
These data indicate:
No. & Sex  Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred
1 male 19-25* 1794-1801 = hired help?
1 female 26-44 1775-1794 = Margaret? (b. 1775/6)
1 female 45 or over in or bef. 1775 = Sarah
0 persons engaged in [anything]
*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any individual in column three is duplicated in column four.  By subtracting the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create an age class "19-25."
The male is too young to be Sarah's son.  Listed four lines from son, John CORBIN
