| *In the 1820 Census, the third column is
age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25, which means any
individual in column three is duplicated in column four. So,
for an accurate representation of the household, the number in column three
should be subtracted from the number in column four. If, after the
subtraction, any individuals remain in column four, then they have to be
age 19-25, thus creating a "new," more precise age class. |
The match here isn't great, but no other David CORBIN in 1820 comes any
closer, and he is in Kanawha County. Listed six lines from an elderly
William CORBIN, who is presumably David's father.

. Anon. 1883. The History of Henry and St. Clair
Counties, Missouri. National Historical Co., St. Joseph, MO (bios
online at the Henry County MOGenWeb site): On p. 1159:
| JAMES FLETCHER CORBIN, one of the earliest settlers of St.
Clair County, was born December 31, 1831. His father, David Corbin,
a Virginian by birth, born in 1790, was married in 1813, to Miss Annie
Erwin, originally of Kentucky. Their family consisted of eleven
children, of whom James was the youngest. In 1839 the senior Corbin
removed with his family to St. Clair County, Missouri, they being among
the pioneers here. In the fall following his arrival (1839), he erected
his first dwelling of round logs, it being just fourteen feet square, and
in this house of one room, fifteen persons ate and slept for seven months.
The next spring an addition was placed upon it, which when completed, measured
20x18 feet. During this time the meat used by them was procured with
the rifle. Mr. Corbin and his sons built the first frame house erected
in Osceola. This structure was constructed of whipsawed lumber, sawed
by them, and after being finished it was occupied by a Frenchman as a tailor
shop. This was located near the present site of the Upper Osceola
Mill... |
