I continue to research the Corbitt Family in north Henry County –specifically around the old Lawrenceville area. The family was in the Lawrenceville area from the late 1830’s until sometime between 1890 and 1900. By the end of the 1800’s most had either died or moved to Barbour County (Eufaula) or to Geneva County (Hartford).
Specifically, I am looking for any information on the following:
JESSE WESLEY CORBITT married MARY MCKINNON and had the following children:
DANIEL E. CORBITT married MARTHA E. JININS then to SARAH JANE ZORN
LARKIN J. CORBITT
CHRISTIAN A. CORBITT (female) married BRITTAIN SEARCY
WILLIAM SAMUEL CORBITT married FAIRNETTIE WEST
MARY FRANCES CORBITT married GEORGE WASHINGTON WRIGHT, SR
JESSE A. CORBITT married VIRGINIA A. W. SKIPPER
JOSEPHINE REBECCA CORBITT married first JAMES DAVID ZORN then perhaps to S. M. DUFFELL
JOHN W.T. CORBITT
MARGARET ELIZABETH CORBITT married JOHN JOSEPH CLARK
I have established a Henry County Corbitt Family web page at
http://mysite.verizon.net/mcspear/henrycountycorbittfamily/ The page specifically outlines all I know or think I know about my Corbitt line and I would certainly appreciate corresponding with anyone who has done any research or has any information on any of these family members.
Also, there is a SAMUEL CORBITT with a land patent near Jesse Wesley Corbitt in the late 1830’s. Does anyone know anything about this Corbitt? The only Samuel I have would have been too young to obtain land during this time. I am trying to determine if this Samuel Corbitt is related to my ancestors.
