Great Job Paula

This preatty much sums up the many of the Corbetts. I'm a Corbett by blood. My great great grand mother was Ellen Corbert, which you have included in this list. I've been able to track my Corbett line as far back as 1820, Bladen and New hanover and Pender county along the Black River...

I'm not familar with Dawson but more then likely he's tied to these areas..

I am probably your cousin. My great great great grandfather Issac Beatty born 1850. Issac's second wife charterine was the daughter of Ellen Corbett. The area that they lived in is called Canetuck N.C. Back in 1978 the Beatty's Corbett's and Henry's had a family reunion. To this day I have never seen anything quite like what I saw that day.

Hey Cousin

I wonder if we have met before?

Just a nutshell

Yes you are correct. Isaac married Catherine the daugther of Ellen Corbett.

Ellen had 3 children (recorded):

Jane who married Charles Miller
Catherine Married Isaac Beatty (the son of Flander Beatty)
Louis Henry married Alice Barhill

I sent you a private message. Hopfully it gets to you. If not please post another reply.
