3. 1820 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #2 of 20; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

1820 SC Lexington Dist. Roll M33_121 p. 42 Ln. 4 Peter Corben 001100-00000-0-010-00000000

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 16-18 1801-1804 = Henry L. (b. ca. 1803)

1 male 19-25* 1794-1801 = Samuel Peter (b. ca. 1802)

1 person engaged in manufactures and trade

*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25, which means any individual in column three is duplicated in column four. So, for an accurate representation of the household, the number in column three should be subtracted from the number in column four. If, after the subtraction, any individuals remain in column four, then they have to be age 19-25, thus creating a "new," more precise age class.

I'm obviously guessing that Henry is the younger male living with Peter. It could be that Peter is the younger male, and the older male is his older brother, William Paul; however then you have to wonder why Peter was made the head-of-household. Listed next to Daniel SENN.

Macon Messenger

Mrs. Caroline M. Corbin, consort of Mr. Samuel P. Corbin, departed this life, July 23rd, in the 52nd year of her age; was born in Lexington District, South Carolina in 1801; for many years prior to death a resident of Crawford County; member of Methodist Episcopal Church. (Southern Christian Advocate)

12. WorldConnect / Ancestry World Trees (online at RootsWeb.com/Ancestry.com). Several files, one of which includes this information in the Notes on our subjects:

[Husband:] Samuel P. CORBIN
[Wife:] Caroline CORBIN
[Child:] Mary Susannah CORBIN; b: 1 Apr 1825
[Notes:] "This Bible is owned by the Calhoun Co. Historical Soc., St. Mathews, S.C. The Bible was found in an abandoned House on Beaver Creek and was brought to the society. The Bible came from Ireland to Beaver Creek in old Orangebury Co. in 1762..."

The timing and geography here makes it likely the bible came down through Caroline's family, rather than Samuel's.
