The sixth column is the sum of the first five. They are indexed as
being in Edgecombe Twp., but I see nothing on the pages to indicate township,
and all the Halifax records are in one group (i.e., no other townships

| *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. |

| First of all, I find it hard to believe Mary had five children in five
years, so my take is that the birthyears are guesses. Likewise, the
exact two-year spacing of the children's spouses suggests those birthyears,
too, are guesses, especially as the birthplaces of the all the spouses
are said to be TN (virtually no Europeans were in TN, much less western
TN, before the Revolution). Secondly, William
Wilkinson CORBIN married Rachel WRIGHT in 1745 in Baltimore
Co., MD. There is no indication they moved to NC, but if they did
leave MD, they probably went the route of their kin, which was to OH.
The only child consistently attributed to them is Vincent
CORBIN (b. 1745-55), who was still in Baltimore Co., MD, at least as
late as 1795; one secondary source gives them a daughter, Diana CORBIN.
I don't remotely believe William Wilkinson CORBIN is our subject's father;
what evidence we have supports that our subject is a son of Mathuel
CORBIN (Sr.) of Halifax Co., NC. |

| As discussed above, I don't believe William Wilkinson CORBIN is his
father. In addition, the
William
CORBIN who married Mary Elizabeth BROWN was also of Baltimore
Co., MD; he moved to Huntingdon Co., PA, where he died. It may be
that our subject's wife actually was Mary Anne BROWN, but given that the
submitter had already mixed up this William with the Baltimore County CORBINs,
it wouldn't surprise me that they mixed up our subjects with the William
& Mary in Baltimore County. |

Death: 1827
Marriage: About 1780, of North Carolina
