William CORBIN
Elizabeth SPINKS

WARNING: there is some kind of mixup between this page, the page for William CORBIN & Rosanna, and the page for Ralph CORBIN & Rachel, specifically about the children, especially Rosey. Caveat emptor until I sort out what's correct here.

There's a huge age difference between William and Elizabeth. Did he have a prior wife? Has a generation been skipped?

1? William CORBIN — not the William⁷CORBIN indicated below by Corbin (2009:12)

1. Kenneth Corbin. 2009. The Leaves of the Corbin Tree. Vol. 1 of 2. Self-published, Louisville, KY:

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

p. 12 35. William⁶ CORBIN (Elizabeth⁵ [CORBIN], Elizabeth⁴ SMITH, Grace³ BALLARD, Anne²…, William¹ [THOMAS]) was born illegitimate in Mar 1722/23 at King George Co., VA. He married Elizbeth SPINKS, daughter of John SPINKS and Rosamond CORBIN. He died on 10 Dec 1777 at age 54; while in service during the Revolutionary War.³⁷... in the 8th Va Regiment.^52,37
Eliabeth SPINKS was born in 18 Aug 1745 at King George Co., VA; in St. Paul's Parish.¹⁷ She died in 1779...
The three known children of William⁶ CORBIN and Elizabeth SPINKS were as follows:

+ 113. i. William⁷ CORBIN Sr. was born before 1767 at Culpeper Co., VA.

114. ii. Elizabeth CORBIN was christened on 20 Apr 1760 at Dinwiddie Co., VA: at the Bristol Parish.

115. iii. Rosey CORBIN was born on 27 Feb 1764 at Dinwiddie Co., VA; recorded in the Bristol Parish records. She married Samuel JOHNSON on 4 Mar 1800.

In William⁷'s own entry, the author actually says, "He is listed as a son of David CORBIN in 1787 at Culpeper Co., VA." Y-DNA testing of a patrilineal descendant of William⁷'s son, Elliott⁸, proves he is a genetic CORBIN, not a RIDGEWAY. Our subject may have had a son named, William, but he is not William #113.
