R1b is the most common haplogroup in western Europe, reaching a frequency of 70-80% in the British Isles (please see distribution map), so it is not surprising that it is the most frequent haplogroup in the project.  R1b is the haplogroup believed to have re-populated Europe from an Iberian refugium when the last glacial ice sheet retreated about 10-12,000 years ago.
Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype — WAMH
Of the many haplotypes represented within R1b, the most common 12-marker haplotype is called the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype."  In the results tables below, the R1b modal haplotype is highlighted in cyan and is used as an arbitrary standard against which to compare our R1b members.  (Because R-1b1b-2 is the most common subclade of R1b, the modal values for R1b are also those of R-1b1 and R-1b1b-2.)  The modal value for each marker is taken independently; no one individual is modal for all values, so no one actually has this entire haplotype at 37 or 67 markers.  FTDNA members whose 12-marker haplotype matches one of the four most common 12-marker R1b haplotypes will find they have a WAMH logo on their member page.  Genetically speaking, being WAMH is rather like being surnamed SMITH, which means anyone with this haplotype can expect to need at least 37 markers to clearly distinguish themselves from other R-1b1b-2's.
Sixteen project members are Haplogroup R1b.  They fall into five subclades and seven lineages, including two with NPEs.  I recommend that those still in the R-1b1b-2 category be deep SNP tested to determine their subclade.

This individual has transferred in from the National Geographic Society's Genographic Project.  He has just begun working on his paper genealogy, so we may not have a lineage for him for awhile. 
His haplotype is rare, especially for an R-1b1b-2.  He has only four 12/12 matches in the FTDNA database, all in surname NORMAN, and just two 12/12 matches in the Ysearch database, one with a NORMAN, of Virginia, and the other with a BAILEY.  Two of these NORMANs have tested to 37 markers, so your project admin strongly recommends upgrading to 37 markers to find out whether this match is maintained or falls away. Because of the rarity of this haplotype, the possiblity of an NPE with NORMAN is rearing its head, so upgrading to more markers here is critical.

These individuals have a 61/67 match, which is not quite as close as one might expect, though three of the mutations are at fast-mutating markers (labeled in red).  It is very likely that additional tested descendants will fall "in-between" these two individuals, meaning none will end up more than two or three mutations from the family's modal haplotype, which is the presumed haplotype of the common ancestor.  Their haplotypes are unique, especially for R-1b1b-2, with no matches in the FTDNA database, except with each other.  Thus, the Northampton/Accomack CORBINs are yet another distinct CORBIN lineage.  Your project admin recommends uploading these results to Ysearch.
#111533 has received a gratis backbone SNP test from FTDNA with the result that he is M269+, thus proving he is R-1b1b-2.

#82160 descends from Mrs. Penelope "Penny" (__?__) CORBIN of Prince William Parish, Beaufort Dist. [now Hampton Co.], SC, who appears there in the 1850 census as a widow with two sons, Edward and Charles.  Despite years of research, neither her husband's given name nor her maiden name has been discovered.  #111536 is either the son or nephew of Moses CORBIN, the earliest CORBIN known to have settled in Florida.  Moses was born in SC, but his ancestors are unknown.  It is a pleasant surprise to have these two elusive CORBINs find a match.  Now, if only we can find them a match who is not so elusive!
These individuals have unique haplotypes, with no resemblance to the WAMH.  They have no matches at any level in the FTDNA database (except with each other), nor do they remotely resemble the South Carolina R-1b1b-2a1b-4 individuals in the table below.  DNA testing should eventually connect these two individuals to their CORBIN family, but it will be a waiting game until the right CORBIN is tested.  Having a rare haplotype is ultimately an advantage because the match, when it comes, should be unequivocal.
#82160 has undergone deep SNP testing at FTDNA with these results:
M207+ M173+ M343+ P25+ M18- M73- M269+ U106+ U198- P107- L1- L48- M37- M65- M126- M153- M160- M222- P66- SRY2627- U152-
The first four positive SNP test results prove he is R-1b1.  The negative results for M18 and M73 prove he is not R-1b1a or R-1b1b-1.  The positive result for M269 proves he is R-1b1b-2, and the positive result for U106 proves he is R-1b1b-2a1a.  The negative results for U198, P107, L1, and L48 prove he is not a subclade of R-1b1b-2a1a, but root/ancestral R-1b1b-2a1a*.  The remaining negative results redundantly prove he is not any subclade of R-1b1b-2a1b.

The two descendants of William1 have a perfect 67/67 match; and they match the descendant of William's brother, Benjamin1, at 65/67 leaving no doubt, whatsoever, that they have a near common ancestor.  Their 12-marker haplotype is common, with over 250 full matches (in other surnames) in the FTDNA database, but at 25 or more markers, they have no full or even near matches with anyone else, except each other.
Like other CORBINs of early Baltimore Co., MD, William1 and Benjamin1 are presumed to be descendants of Nicholas CORBIN, the 1671 immigrant to Maryland, although the paper connection has never been proven.  Obviously, we very much need an individual with a solid paper connection to Nicholas to be tested for the project.
#77059 has undergone deep SNP testing at FTDNA, with this result:
P312+ M65- M153- SRY2627- U152- L21- M37- M222- P66-
The positive result for P312 proves our subject is R-1b1b-2a1b.  His negative result for the SNPs downstream of P312 show he is not a subclade of R-1b1b-2a1b, but root/ancestral R-1b1b-2a1b*.
  Note:  William1 and Benjamin1 are solidly documented as brothers, but their parents are unproven.
Haplogroup Subclade R-1b1b-2a1b-3* = R-SRY2627
"R1b1c6 [now R-1b1b-2a1b-3] is a small R1b1c subclade that appears to have originated in Iberia within the last few thousand years.  It probably entered the British Isles before historical times.  Yes, it looks like the WAMH, but remember that the WAMH is a statistical construct.  It probably contains several different SNP-based subclades.  R1b1c6 is one of them." — in an email from Dr. David Wilson, R1b guru.

Six of these CORBINs are related at the level of 65/67 or better, so they clearly have a near common ancestor, while the seventh  (#118467) apparently has an NPE in his lineage. One of the six is an adopted DAMERON whose CORBIN origin is not know beyond his father, but he is clearly a match for this family.
The first four individuals have a full 12/12 match with one of the Western Atlantic Model Haplotypes, so there's a "WAHM" logo on their member pages at FTDNA.  This particular 12-marker haplotype is the most common 12-marker haplotype in western Europe, so they have over a thousand 12/12 matches in the FTDNA database alone (all in other surnames).  Their resemblance to the modal haplotype continues to be close at 23/25, and they have over 200 full matches (in other surnames), even at 25 markers.  But there is further divergence from the modal haplotype at 37 markers (30/37) and even greater divergence at 67 markers (55/67).  Except with each other, they have no full or even near matches at 37 markers, much less 67, in either the FTDNA or Ysearch databases (as of Jul 2008).
With only six descendants tested, it's a little early to begin constructing a node chart for them, but I have gone ahead and created one based on the results, so far, which you can view on this page.
#86553 and #N65974 are brothers, so it is no surprise that they match 67/67.  Please notes that brother-brother testings, along with father-son testings, are not a wasted duplication.  In addition to proving there is no NPE separating them, these pairings give us the most accurate statistic we have on mutation rates.
On the face of it, it would appear that #86553 and #N65974 have a genetic distance of two from the modals for the family (see green table cells); but, in fact, a change in 389i is automatically reflected in 389ii, so these differences really represent just one mutation event; therefor, for the purpose of calculating genetic distance (GD), they are counted as one event.
#118467 has a GD of 25 from the modal haplotype for this CORBIN family, so we're looking at an NPE, a "non-paternal event" (i.e., a hidden adoption or illicit paternity).  In the FTDNA database, he has a few full matches at 12 markers, plus a few near matches at 25 markers (all in other surnames), but no full matches at 25 or more markers.  He has a GD of 6 from the modal haplotype of the DYS464X_ccgg Project, a GD of eight from a cluster in the BYRNES Surname Project, and a GD of ten from the modal haplotype in the BEATTY Surname Project. An advanced test shows that he is, indeed, ccgg at DYS464 (most R1b males are cccg) and part of the BEATTIE-BYRNE cluster of R1b (see cluster in lower right).  The bottom line is that he doesn't yet match anyone closely enough to have identified his "true" surname, though he has a 60/67 match with a BYRNE and a BEATTY.  I'm afraid he will have to wait for a better match before he can continue pursuit of the origin of his patrilineal line.  In the meantime, I would recommend deep SNP testing to determine the haplogroup subclade.
#77059 has undergone deep SNP testing at FTDNA, with this result:
M207+ M173+ M343+ P25+ M18- M73- M269+ SRY2627+ M37- M65- M126- M153- M160- M222- P66-
The first four positive SNP test results prove he is R-1b1.  The negative results for M18 and M73 rule out R-1b1a and R-1b1b-1.  The positive test result for M269 proves he is R-1b1b-2, and the positive result for SRY2627 proves he is subclade R-1b1b-2a1b-3.  The remaining negative results redundantly rule out the other R-1b1b-2 subclades tested by FTDNA at the time he underwent testing. 
   
Haplogroup Subclade R-1b1b-2a1b-5* = R-L21

Considering the resemblance of CORBIN #95794 to the R1b modal haplotype, it's not surprising that his 12-marker haplotype is fairly common, but most of his matches are low level and in other surnames, so have no consequence.  He does, however, have significant high-level matches with descendants of Henry SHERMAN (c1517-c1590) of Dedham, Essex, England, so it does appear that this CORBIN has an NPE, a "non-paternal event" (e.g., a hidden adoption, deliberate name change, or illicit paternity), in his patrilineal line.  (See the SHERMAN DNA Project at FTDNA.) 
Having been born in Massachusets, it had been expected that this CORBIN might match with descendants of Clement CORBIN, of Brookline, MA, and Woodstock, CT, but Clement's descendants are Haplogroup G2a, so our subject being Haplogroup R1b1b2 rules out any possibility of a near genetic connection.  However, a descendant of Henry SHERMAN of Dedham, namely, Charles Henry SHERMAN, did marry a granddaughter of Philip CORBIN of Danbury, CT, who is a genetic match with and presumed descendant of Clement, which shows these families were, indeed, in contact.  Even though a living patrilineal descendant of Charles Henry has not yet been found to be tested, I've added a line in the table for him, so I could show his lineage (over to the right).  If you are a descendant on this line, please join the SHERMAN project and be tested.
Cells in the table highlighted in cyan are modal for Haplogroup R1b.  Cells highlighted in purple appear to be characteristic of these SHERMANs.  Other brightly colored cells highlight mutations exclusive to this line.  The red table cell highlights what appears to be a "recLOH" (recombinant loss of heterozygosity) event for Marker YCAIIab.  While it appears that Marker YCA11b has undergone four mutations (going from 23 to 19), what has really happened is that the 23-repeat "b" part has been lost and replaced with a second copy of the 19-repeat "a" part.  In other words, it represents one mutation event, not four.
#95794 and #55991 have undergone deep SNP testing with these combined results:
M207+ M173+ M343+ P25+ M18- M73- M269+ U106- U198- P107- L21+ M65- M153- SRY2627- U152- M126-  M160- M37- M222- P66-
The first four positive SNP test results prove they are R-1b1.  The negative result for M18 rules out R-1b1a; the negative result for M73 rules out R-1b1b-1.  The positive result for M269 proves he is R-1b1b-2.  The negative results for U106, U198, and P107 prove they are not any form of R-1b1b-2a1a.  The positive result for L21 proves they are R-1b1b-2a1b-5.  The negative results for M153, SRY2627, U152, M126, and M160 redundantly prove they are not R-1b1b-2a1b-1 through R-1b1b-2a1b-4.  The negative results for M37, M222, and P66 prove they are not a sublcade of R-1b1b-2a1b-5, but root/ancestral R-1b1b-2a1b-5*.
Four SHERMANs have been tested at SMGF (the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation), and two of them match our CORBIN subject.  SMGF tests a slightly different suite of markers, but 28 of them are the same, so some comparison is possible, as shown above.  SMGF tests nine additional markers, which are not part of the FTDNA Standard sets, but these nine can be ordered "a la carte" from among FTDNA's "Advanced Markers."  There is no way to contact SMGF test subjects.  If you are one of these two individuals, please contact me, and please consider joining the Sherman Project and so testing your missing markers.
   
In the lineages above, names in boldface are the immigrants — all to New England in the early 1600s.
The progenitor of these SHERMANs is Henry SHERMAN (c1517-c1590) of Dedham, Essex, England.  As the nearest common ancestor of these SHERMANs existed well before the appearance of Ira CORBIN, it seems that the CORBIN has to be the one with the NPE.  (I guess if you're going to have an NPE, it's nice to have a good match with a well known family, especially an illustrious one.)
The Hon. Philip SHERMAN (1610-1687) in the lineages above became the first Secretary of the State of Rhode Island in 1639.
Another notable descendant of Henry SHERMAN of Dedham is Sen. Roger SHERMAN (1721-1793), Signer of the Declaration of Independence and (later) U.S. Senator from Connecticut, on this line:
Roger7, William6, Joseph5, Capt. John4, John3, Henry2, Henry1
 
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.
