 G  (n = 2 / 1) I1 (n = 7 / 2) R1b (n = 16 / 7)
Haplogroup I is the second most common haplogroup in western Europe, next to R1b, while it is the most common haplogroup in Scandinavia.  Overall, Hg I has a broad European distribution, from the British Isles east to the Ural Mountains of Russia and south to Anatolia and the Mediterranean Sea, but its strong geographic concentration in northwestern Europe has led Hg I to be nicknamed, the "Viking" haplogroup (though some consider R1a to be the only true Viking haplogroup).
I1 is the most common subclade of Hg I.  Geographically, I1 is highly concentrated in northern Germany, Denmark, and southern Norway and Sweden.  The most common subclade of I1 is the root or ancestral subclade, I1*.  Subclades of I1 are rare to the point of not being genealogically useful, but no other SNPs as yet subdivide the otherwise large I1group.  In lieu of useful SNPs (the search for which is ongoing), varieties of I1 have been defined by Ken Nordtvedt based on STR haplotypes (see his Excel spreadsheet).  For a table showing modal haplotypes for Hg I varieties in FamilyTreeDNA marker order, please also see my HTML transcription of Nordtvedt's spreadsheet.
Seven CORBIN project members are Haplogroup I1.  They fall into two varieties, each representing descendants of a single progenitor.

GD = Genetic Distance, the number of mutation events separating individuals.  In the table(s) below, it's the genetic distance from the test subject to the family's modal haplotype.

I1-AngloSaxon-2 — the CORBINs of the Northern Neck of Virginia
AngloSaxon is the most common variety of I1.  It is most frequent in the Netherlands, northwestern Germany, and Denmark and is present at lower frequencies in eastern and southern Germany, southern Sweden, and the British Isles.  Varieties of I1-AS have been defined based on haplotypes by Nordtvedt (see his table of Haplogroup I varieties).

These CORBINs are a close match to the modal haplotype of Nordtvedt's "AngloSaxon-2" variety of I1 (see Nordtvedt's chart).  Because they are close to the modal, they have over 90 full matches at 12 markers, a few full matches at 25 markers, and even some near matches at 37 and 67 markers (all in other surnames).  However, they have no full matches above 25 markers, so their haplotypes remain unique at 37 or more markers.
Now that we have two individuals sharing a recent mutation, meaning they have a common ancestor nearer to them than their presumed progenitor, I have begun a cladogram for the family.  This cladogram or "node chart" is based on the assumption that the earliest known common ancestor of all of these CORBINs is John CORBIN (1671-1748) of Richmond Co., VA, which I believe is a reasonable working hypothesis for the time being.  Please see the Node Chart of John CORBIN of Richmond Co., VA, for a graphic depiction of his descendants' genetic family tree.
 #147715 has been deep SNP tested, with these results:
M170+ M253+ M21- M227- M72- P259- L22- M26- M161- M223- M284- L39-
The positive SNP test results prove he is I1 (see I1 table).  The negative results for M21, M227, M72, P259, and L22 rule out his belonging to any known subclade of I1, which means, based on the current haplogroup tree, he is root/ancestral I1*.  The remaining negative results redundantly rule out his being forms of I2 (see I2 table). 
   
I1-Norse
I1-N is the most common I1 variety in Sweden and Finland and is the second most common variety in Norway and Denmark.  Your project admin speculates that this line of CORBINs may have been among the Normans (the "north-men") who invaded France from the North, then England in the Norman Conquest — then some time later, South Carolina.

These individuals bears a close resemblance to the modal haplotype of Nordtvedt's Norse variety of Haplogroup I1.  Because they match the modal haplotype perfectly at 12 markers, they have over 200 full 12/12 matches in the FTDNA database (all outside the project in other surnames).  However, they diverge from the modal values at 25 markers, and even more so at 37 markers, so they have no full matches at 25 or more markers, even with each other, although they do share the recLOH event at YCAII.
The value of 21 for YCAII is unusual (yellow table cells), occurring in only about 1.5% of I1.  This kind of change (from 19,21 to 21,21) can occur in a single mutational event known as a recLOH (recombinant loss of heterozygosity).  In other words, the 19-count copy was lost and replaced by a second copy of the 21-count copy, in one mutational event.
The change from 12 to 14 at DYS464a probably took place as a one mutation event, too, either by a single two-step mutation or another recLOH, with the 12 allele being replaced by a duplicated 14 allele.  Either way, what this means is that their genetic distance from one another is less than a straight numerical count would indicate.  The same may also be true of DYS570, another volatile marker.  Whether these happened as single or multiple mutation events can eventually be determined by testing more cousins.
   
What constitutes a match?
Matches in other surnames are usually mere coincidence, so please ignore them — I'll let you know when you shouldn't!
For 12 markers:  9 or less is a non-relative; 10-12, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 25 markers:  21 or less is a non-relative; 22-25, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 37 markers:  31 or less is a non-relative; 32-37, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 67 markers:  55 or less is a non-relative; 56-67, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For any test:  0 matching markers, please contact NASA.
