Lucretia's age varies widely in the censuses.  The average woman marries for the first time at the age of 19, which would place her birth ca. 1812, but her parents didn't marry until Dec 1814.  Unless it was a shotgun wedding or she is not their child, Lucretia can't have been born any earlier than 1815; and if she married in 1831, she can't have been born much, if any, later than 1815.  If she was born in 1815, then she has to be the twin sister of Louann; either that or Louann's birthdate is wrong.

Lucretia cannot be this young, and James should be age 11 (see 1860 census).  Also, Lucretia was born in KY, not IN.  "William C Inman" was once misread and published by someone as "William CANNON," so the mistake has been widely promulgated.

Lucretia cannot be this old; a serious case of "age inflation" appears to have set in here.  Listed next to married son, Randall INMAN (æ 38, b. IN), and his family.

9.  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.
Text in fixed font was extracted verbatim; text in proportional font is condensed and paraphrased.
p. 141 711.  Lucretia9 CORBIN (James8 Fones...) was born circa 1815 at Clark Co., KY.  She married Elisha George INMAN on 16 Jun 1831 at Lawrence Co., IN.  She died in 1870 at Scotland, Greene Co., IN... 

Elisha George INMAN was born in 1813 at IN.  He died in 1861 at Scotland, Greene Co., IN.

Transcriber's Note:  The author gives James Fones CORBIN the ancestry of his stepfather, Rawley CORBIN, which I don't consider a genealogically valid thing to do, so I've omitted it.  Clearly, Lucretia did not die in 1870 because she is still alive in the 1880 census.  They were farmers, living in the countryside of the indicated township, not in the local post office, where they would only have gone to pick up their mail.  Given their locations in the censuses, Elisha probably died in McCameron Twp., Martin Co., and Lucretia probably died in Taylor Twp., Greene Co.
The eleven known children of Lucretia9 CORBIN and Elisha George INMAN were as follows:
  2051.   i.   (Child) INMAN; d. infancy
  2052.   ii.   William Caloway INMAN, b. 1836; m. 6 Apr 1865, Martin Co., IN, Nancy J. EATON; d. 16 Nov 1905, Watah, Benton Co., MN
  2053.   iii.   John INMAN, b. 1837
  2054.   iv.   Mary Ann INMAN, b. 1841
  2055.   v.   Thomas INMAN, b. 1843
  2056.   vi.   Norval INMAN, b. 1845
  2057.   vii.   James INMAN, b. 1846
  2058.   viii.   Elisha INMAN, b. 18 Sep 1847; m. Martha...
Transcriber's Note:  Except for the first child, all the children are said to be born in Scotland, Greene Co., IN.  As the censuses indicate, at most only the last two children might have been born in Greene County and then in Taylor Twp., not the town of Scotland. James's age of "4" in the 1850 census was enumerator error; he was age 21 in the 1860 census.

Transcriber's Note:  No, I didn't skip Ziba.  He's not listed.
