There's no obvious genealogical connection between Isaiah CORBIN and our subjects. Ann KEMP is likely Catharine's mother.

They have no son, William. Is this actually Willa Anna? I don't find here elsewhere, at least not in Fayette County. On the other hand, Thomas's tombstone say's "Sr." What's going on? Is William adopted?
