James CORBIN & Mildred WRIGHT & Elizabeth ADAMS

Diana, Goddess of the Hunt — for Ancestors!

James CORBIN
Mildred WRIGHT
Elizabeth ADAMS

A patrilineal descendant of our subject has joined the CORBIN Y-DNA Surname Project, and test results show him related to descendants of John CORBIN of Richmond Co., VA, and to Peter CORBIN of Stafford Co., VA. If John CORBIN is really John BURNHAM-CORBIN, stepson of Henry CORBIN, this DNA matching has the profound result of proving that our subject and all of his descendants are biologically BURNHAMs, not CORBINs. We need to find and test a BURNHAM related to Capt. Rowland BURNHAM.
