CORBIN, WILLIAM, m. Rachel Wright on 11 Aug. 1745
(131). |
| Barnes apparently considered William Wilkinson CORBIN not
to be the William who married Rachel WRIGHT or, at least, that it was not
proven they were the same person. He also seemed dubious that William
Wilkinson CORBIN was the son of Edward, but the deed of 1747 (see below),
clearly shows he was their son. |

16 May 1741, Elizabeth WRIGHT of Baltimore
Co., Maryland, to her son, Jacob Wright of same, for love and affection,
£35 on the day he marries. Signed Elizabeth Wright. Wit: Thomas
Sligh, Thomas Hempstone, and William Corbin. |

10 Apr 1747, Edward & Jane Corbin
of Baltimore Co., Maryland, to their son, William Wilkinson Corbin
of same for love and affection, 58 acres... south side of the great falls
of Gunpowder River. Signed Edward (x) Corbin and Jane (x) Corbin. Wit:
William Rogers and Williams Worthington Jr. |
| Thomas SLIGH was married to Sophia WILKINSON, d/o William
& Tamar (LOVE) WILKINSON, which made Thomas the uncle of William Wilkinson
CORBIN. It would obviously be interesting to know how Elizabeth WRIGHT
was related to Rachel WRIGHT. The important thing about this record
is that it shows that the William CORBIN who was connected to the WRIGHTs
is the same William CORBIN who was connected to Thomas SLIGH and, thus,
the WILKINSONs. |
