Children — born in TN, presumably in Claiborne Co., TN:

1. William W. CORBIN, b. 1831/2
2. Elvis/Alvis Kennedy/Canady/Canada CORBIN, b. 15 Apr 1834; d. 12 Mar 1910; m. 17 Oct 1875, Claiborne Co., TN, Sarah Ann BREEDING (1848-1922)
3. George C. CORBIN, b. 27 Jul 1836
4. Easter/Esther/Hester Ann "Hettie/Hattie" CORBIN, b. 1837/8
5. Sterling G. CORBIN, b. 1839/40
6. Martha E. CORBIN, b. 1847/8
7. Frances A. CORBIN, b. 1850/1; m. 1869, John COLLINSWORTH

Hettie is said to be born 28 Jun 1842, but this year doesn't jibe with her birthyear in the census. If the date is from her tombstone, it's probable that she shaved a few years off her age in mid-life.
