Adopted Child — born in VA:

. James FONES, a.k.a., James Fones CORBIN, b. 13 Nov 1793

Some secondary sources show James as son of Rawley's son, Thomas, and his wife Susanna CLAIBORNE, but James was born in 1793, and Thomas & Susanna weren't married until 1795. Also, and more importantly, a patrilineal descendant of James has been Y-DNA tested, and he is a decided non-match with these CORBINs, making it impossible for him to be a biological descendant of Rawley.

The author did not routinely put surnames in all-caps, so I have converted them to make for easier scanning for names.

p. 17 69. Rawley⁷ CORBIN (Thomas⁶, Rawley⁵, Elizabeth⁴ SMITH, Grace³ BALLARD, Anne² THOMAS, William¹)²⁵ was born in 1749/50 at VA. He married Sarah KRAUS circa 1770.²⁵ He died between 1817 and 1819 at Clark Co., KY...

What follows is a long itemization of tax and land records. From these we glean that he has a wife, Sarah, daughters Lucy and Sarah, and a son, Thomas. He states that Rawley was in the 1790 VA census, which we know was destroyed, so he must mean the "Heads of Families..." reconstruction of it. Rawley is listed as father on the marriage bond of Sarah CORBIN & Spencer ADAMS. He is the adoptive father of James FONES, a.k.a., James Fones CORBIN.

Sarah KRAUS was also known as Sarah CROSS.
