Nicholas Z. CORBIN
Eleanor __?__

Husband: Nicholas Z. CORBIN — who may be this Nicholas CORBIN
Birth said to be: 1710, Baltimore Co., MD
Death: 1778
Father: Edward CORBIN
Mother: Jane WILKINSON

Where did his middle initial "Z." come from? I have yet to find a primary source using a middle initial.
If Nicholas was born in 1710, he is too young to be having children in 1725. To be the parent of the eldest child (Sophia, b. 1725), he would have had to have been born no later than ca. 1706.

Marriage: before (not on) 3 Sep 1733

Wife: Eleanor __?__
Birth:
Death: aft. 1733, bef. 1753

Children — born in Baltimore Co., MD:

WARNING: There is no evidence documenting the identities of our subjects' children. People have attached children to them for want of knowing where else to put them. One researcher asserts that Elizabeth's connecton to Nicholas & Eleanor has been proven, but she refuses to share that proof. The only certainties I'm aware of are 1) that Sophia, Benjamin, Nathan, Abraham, and William are siblings; and 2) that their father was, indeed, named Nicholas, though which Nicholas CORBIN is uncertain.

p. 30 BARRETT, JOHN, d. by 24 March 1717/8 having m. Alice, extx. of Nicholas Corbin; his will, 21 June 1717 - 24 March 1717/8 named "grandson" Nicholas Corbin, eld. s. of Edward Corbin, also John Royston, James Wells, and John Keith, s. of Alex., wife Alice to be extx.; she was alive in Nov. 1718 when Zacheus Richards, age 2, was bound to serve her...

p. 40 3 Sep 1733, Nicholas & Elinor Corbin, planter, of Baltimore Co., Maryland, to Philip Lindall, planter, of same, 195 acres...John Barrett devised 1 Jun 1717 to said Nicholas. Signed Nicholas (x) Corbin. Wit: Thomas Sheredine and Thomas (x) Harris.

p. 362 11 Jun 1753, Nicholas Corbin, of Baltimore Co., Maryland, to Thomas Marsh, of same, chattel goods. Signed Nicholas (x) Corbin. Wit: Thomas Franklin and Ruth Franklin.

So this is where the 3 Sep 1733 "marriage date" came from. They weren't married on 3 Sep 1733, they were married before 3 Sep 1733 — a distinction worth making. Another source states John BARRETT signed his will 21 Jun 1717, not 1 Jun, but either way, transfer of title to the land could not have taken place until after the death of John Barrett, in 1718. The sale in 1753, without Eleanor, indicates she has passed away (or that they had divorced, which is highly unlikely).

Nicholas appears to have remained unmarried after being widowed.

p. 393 By 1768 it had become apparent that the once thriving port of Joppa on the Gunpowder River was no longer capable of handling the commercial shipping for which the port facilities of the rapidly growing port of Baltimore Town on the Patapsco River were needed. Largely as a result of this shift, it was obvious to most people that Baltimore was a far more appropriate seat for the county government. The Assembly, however, with great fairness, chose to make this determination on the basis of a popular referendum and ordered that petitions, both pro and con the change, be circulated throughout the county to be signed by all adult males over 18 -- virtually a census of adult county residents in 1768...
