Some secondary sources give our subject a death date in 1888, but his wife is a widow in the 1880 census.  The absence of child birthing by his wife after 1860/1 suggests Jerome died during the Civil War.
Some secondary sources show our subject as the son of Samuel CORBIN & Violet HOOD, but — among other things — the early censuses do not show a son Jerome's age living with this couple.
