     Colonel Coventon Corbin's home was on Chincoteague Bay on the "Corbin Hall" site where he and his wife Barbaray are burried. In 1745 Coventon Corbin bought 125 acres of the Ann Potter part of A180 (between New Church and Horntown) from John and Ann Potter. In 1778 Coventon left it to his son George (Whitelaw, p. 1360). Also in 1745 John and Ann Potter sold 75 acres of swamp land which was also part of A180 to Coventon Corbin which later went to his son George (Whitelaw, p. 1361). In 1746 Coventon Corbin bought 150 acres of the Thomas Towles Part of A162 (west of Oak Hall) from William Johnson; it had been sold formerly to Ralph Corbin, but no deed had been given, and it was now deeded to Coventon as the heir-at-law of Ralph Corbin. The deed further stated that it was part of 200 acres which Johnson had bought from Thomas Towles by a General Court deed. The other 50 acres Johnson had sold to Nathaniel Stockley, but in 1749 Johnson bought it back and then sold it to Coventon Corbin. In 1778 Coventon Corbin left to his son George, who in 1793 left to his cousin George. In 1807 George and Mary Corbin sold as 169 acres to William Selby, and in 1821 he (wife Sally) left to John Burton, alias Button; five years later a survey for Burton heirs showed 205 acres (Whitelaw, pp. 1291/2). In 1746 Coventon and his wife Barbara deeded the Glading part of the North Half of the Neck of A148 (just east of Hallwood) to Coventon's brother George, after whom it was to go to George's son Ralph (Whitelaw, p. 1267). In 1756 Coventon and Barbara Corbin sold the Edward Bayly part of A140 (between Mappsville and Temperanceville) to Thomas Welbourn, the deed stating that he had bought it from Bayly by a General Court deed in 1751 (Whitelaw, p. 1233). Also in 1756 Coventon Corbin sold 40 acres of the Thomas Welburn part of A180 to Francis Welburn and an unspecified acreage to Daniel Marshall, each deed stating that it was a part of the land he had bought from Thomas Welburn by a General Court deed (Whitelaw, p. 1366). In 1757 he sold the Nicholas Mellichops part of A140 to Joseph Walker, the deed stating that he bought it from Charles Ashley by a General Court deed in 1746 (Whitelaw, p. 1228). In 1757 William and Betty Davis deeded to Coventon Corbin one-half of the swamp land (of the Charles Marshall part of A180 between New Church and Horntown) which had belonged to Charles Marshall. In 1772 Coventon Corbin sold 42 acres of swamp land he said he had bought from John Dubberly to Benjamin Royal. The next year Royal and his wife Susannah resold to George Marshall (Whitelaw, p. 1357). In 1760 Coventon Corbin deeded to Walter Douglas one-half of 684 acres of the John Robins part of A187 (Chincoteague Island) which he said he had bought from Edward Robins by a General Court deed. In 1778 Coventon left the balance of his island land to his son George Corbin (Whitelaw, p. 1378). In 1769 Coventon Corbin bought 40 acres of the Daniel Walker part of A181 (between Horntown and the MD-VA line) from Major and Tabitha Pettit (Whitelaw, p. 1369). In 1772 Coventon Corbin sold to Benjamin Royal 148 acres of 150 acres of the John Dubberly part of A180 (between New Church and Horntown) which he had bought from Dubberly; no local record was found so probably there was a General Court deed. Six years later Corbin left the other two acres, at the lower end of Horntown, to his grandson Thomas Cropper (Whitelaw, p. 1356). His will, written 8 Mar 1777, specified: To grandson Coventon Corbin (Cropper?) plantation purchased of George Dukes lying in Worcester Co, MD and the 100 acres on "Gingoteague" Island, also that parcel of land purchased of John Robins lying in Worcester Co, MD. Crops on the Dukes plantation to be sold for the education of my said grandson, and what I have given him to be rented and laid out for his education until he is 21 years of age, then to take possession of said lands. Should my said grandson die before the age of 21 I give the lands given to him to Thomas Cropper, all the rents &c. for his education till he is 21, and should he also die before the age of 21 I give the said lands to my grandaughter, Agnis Corbin, daughter of my son George. To grandson John Cropper. To grandson Thomas Cropper 2 acres at the lower end of Horntown, being part of the land purchased of John Dubberly. To son George Corbin all my other lands which I have a right to either on the Islands or on the main not before devised. Son George residual legatee and executor. Witt: Shadrack Dennis, Smith Melvin, Jemimah McCredy, John Field (Acc Wills &c. 1777-1780, p. 161). The above will mentions a grandson, Coventon Corbin, as first choice to inherit Worcester Co lands, with Thomas Cropper second choice and grandaughter Agnis Corbin third choice. This would imply that Coventon's only known son George had a son Coventon born before 1777. However, no record of such a person has been found, but Coventon's daughter Sabra Cropper did have a son Coventon Corbin Cropper, who could have been the Coventon Corbin referenced in the will. The Worcester Co lands should be traced to see who actually inherited them. His common name was Coventon. Coventon was born in 1711 at Accomack Co, VA.² He was the son of Dr. Ralph Corbin and Sarah|Priscilla Scarburgh(?) or Susanna Covington. He married Love Ward circa 1730.² He married Barbaray Drummond after 1735.^2,3 Coventon served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. 27 Jun 1775 "Covington Corbin Gent. having produced a Commission from his Execellency the Governor appointing him Colonel of the Militia of this County took the Severall Oaths of Government and repeated and Subscribed the Test" (Acc Orders, 1774-1777, p. 363)..⁴ Coventon died on 30 August 1778 at Accomack Co, VA.² His body was interred at Corbin Hall, Acc Co, VA.² Coventon's will was probated on 29 September 1778 at Accomack Co, VA.¹

     In 1774 George Corbin was deeded a 372 acre plantation called Oak Hall by James and Mary Ingram in trust for Ingram. Later in the year Corbin and Ingram united in a deed of sale to William Downing. In 1786 William and Anne Downing sold 100 acres in the northeast corner adjacent to Logtown to George Corbin; this later went to his daughter Agnes D., and in time, she and her second husband Samuel Downing sold it also to William R. Drummond (Whitelaw, p. 1321). In 1781 John Cropper Jr. was appointed county lieutenant under Colonel William Davies, Virginia's Commissioner for War, succeeding his uncle George Corbin in that position (Whitelaw, p. 1042). In 1782 George Corbin bought a portion on the western corner of A180 (near Horntown) from Thomas and Martha Martin of Sussex Co, DE (Whitelaw, p. 1354). In 1784 Colonel John and Margaret (Pettit) Cropper deeded 126 acres of N84 (near Marionville) to George Corbin (brother to John Cropper's mother Sabra), saying the land had come to Margaret upon the death of her brother William, and a few months later Corbin deeded it back to Cropper alone (Whitelaw, p. 451). In 1785 George Corbin came to possess 60 acres within A171 call Logg Town which was about where where the road from Chincoteague meets the main highway, so perhaps the early settlement was here before it moved down to the present Oak Hall. This land passed to George's daughter Agnes D. Corbin, who married John S. Ker. In 1812 Agnes and her second husband Samuel Downing sold a total of 156 acres called Logtown to William R. Drummond. Also in 1785 George Corbin bought another 120 acres in this same location which also descended to his daughter Agnes and was included in the 156 acres of Logtown which she and her second husband Samuel Downing sold to William R. Drummond (Whitelaw, p. 1320). In 1785 George Corbin bought 120 acres of A180 (near Horntown) from Risden and Scarburgh Moore. George left it to his daughter Agnes D., who married John S. Ker. An adjacent 125 acres of A180 was sold by John and Ann Potter to Covington Corbin and in 1778 Coventon left to his son George, so both parts became united and went on to Anges' husband John S. Ker. On 5 Jul 1787 a Daniel Welburn of Halifax Co, NC, deeded to George Corbin all of the Samuel Welburn neck and swamp land for the good round sum of L450, stating that it included both the part which George had inherited from his father Coventon, and that which George had bought from Risdon Moore (Whitelaw, p. 1360). 75 acres of the swamp land was sold in 1745 by John and Ann Potter to Coventon Corbin, which later went to his son George and then to his daughter Agnes D. Corbin (Whitelaw, p. 1361). In 1786 the Assembly granted a charter to George Corbin, Isaac Avery, Thomas Evans, Littleton Savage, Levin Joynes, George Parker, John Harmanson, Edward Ker and John Cropper Jr., as trustees for "establishing a Seminary of learning either in the county of Accomack or Northampton" to be known as Margaret Academy (Whitelaw, p. 733). In 1790 an Act of the General Assembly authorized John Cropper, George Corbin, John Teackle and John Wise to sell land and buildings in Somerset Co, MD, and Accomack Co, VA, which were purchased for religious worship, to be paid to the trustees of the Washington Academy in MD and Margaret Academy in Accomack Co, VA (Whitelaw, p. 1024). In 1787 George Corbin bought 73 acres of A147 (near Hallwood) from Robert and Mary Bayly. He left it to his daughter Agnes D. Ker (Witelaw, p. 1263). In 1787 Corbin Hall, on A180 (near Horntown) over looking Chincoteague Bay was erected by George Corbin (Whitelaw, p. 1364). Also in 1787 he appeared on the Acc Co, VA, Personal Property Tax List "A" as having 19 blacks above 16; 14 blacks under 16; 14 horses, mares, colts & mules; and 56 cattle. In 1787 George Corbin bought 325 acres of A141 (east and south of Temperanceville) from Edward and Diedamia Taylor. It was next to A143 and on the east side of the seaside road after it turned northward again. In 1793 (Whitelaw said 1787) George Corbin left this 325 acres to his daughter Agnes D., the wife of John S. Ker. About 40 years later a survey of adjacent land showed this was owned by William D. Cropper (Whitelaw, p. 1241). In 1780 George Corbin bought 150 acres of A146 (between Temperanceville and Wattsville) from Edward Ewell and four years later 100 acres more which he called his home place. In 1793 he left it to his daughter Agnes D., the wife of John S. Ker, and in 1831 their heirs sold as 191 1/2 acres by survey to John Tatham (Whitelaw, p. 1251). In 1789 George Corbin bought 364 acres of A71 (Onancock) from Edmund and Elizabeth Custis and in 1793 left "my plantation at Onancock" to his friend Catherine Scott for life and then to his daughter Agnes D., the wife of John Shepherd Ker, upon which Kerr Place was erected (Whitelaw, p. 927). Also in 1789 George Corbin bought 364 acres of A72 from Edmund and Elizabeth Custis which became the eastern end of the later Kerr Place plantation for a while (Whitelaw, p. 936). One of George Corbin's last purchases would have been in 1793 when he bought 36 acres of A180 (near Horntown) from Thomas W. Marshall which he had held jointly with his sister Euphamy Marshall (Whitelaw, p. 1356). George Corbin's will, written 24 Sep 1793, specified: To daughter Agnes Durmmond Ker whole estate provided if she have a son that my son-in-law John Shepard Ker call such son George Corbin, to which said son I will my Chingoteague plantation, Island and swamp land. To friend Catherine Scott for life my plantation at Onancock, and my daughter Agnes Drummond Ker to pay her 50 £ annually. To Catherine Parker 25 L annually as long as she continues in Mrs. Scott's family. To friend Revil Horsey and wife, of Somerset. To John Read and William Hill, my tenants in Horntown. To Mrs. Barbary Knox. To nephew John Welburne. To George Corbin, son of my cousin Ralph Corbin, Jr., my plantation on Pocomoke, being the lands that were my grandfathers. To William and Drummond Welburne lands purchased of William Broadwater's executors, also 50 acres purchased of Ralph Corbin and my 1/2 of the lands and mills held in partnership with William Selby. Nephew John Cropper and son-in-law John Shepard Ker executors. Wittnesses: George Ker, Peter Delastatius, Samuel Henderson. Codocil: The lands directed to devolve on my grandson to be called George Corbin to include all lands on Chingoteague, Assateague and Wallops Islands, the lands bought of Risdon Moore and Scarburgh, his wife, being 37 and 1/2 acres, the lands on Wolf's Ridge, being 150 acres, also Joynes containing 100 acres and no other (Acc Wills 1788-1794, p. 782). In reference to a grandson to be named George Corbin, the title to the Chincoteague plantation, Island and swamp land did not descend according to that stipulation. There may have been such a son who died early. The 1806 will of Agnes' husband John S. Ker, left to a son Edward H. Ker, after the death of his wife Agnes D., who later married Samuel Downing (Whitelaw, p. 1362). His common name was George. George was born in 1744 at Accomack Co, VA.² He was the son of Col. Coventon Corbin and Barbaray Drummond. He married Elizabeth Revell Horsey circa 1772.^1,3 George served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. Colonel George Corbin served in the Revolutionay War. 28 Mar 1781: "Ordered that John Cropper, gent. be recommended to his excellency the Governor as a proper person to discharge the office of County Lieutenant in the roome of George Corbin Esqr who resigned on account of bodily infirmities" (Acc Orders 1780-1783, p. 142)..⁴ George was paid for public service during Rev.

It is possible that some of these children were grandchildren or other relatives. In 1787 Robert Corbin appeared on the Acc Co, VA, Personal Property Tax List "A" as having no tithables and Ralph Corbin, Sr. was "charged with tax." Robert was born on 3 February 1764 at Accomack Co, VA.² He was the son of Ralph Corbin Sr. and Rachel (-----). Robert served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. According to a declaration of Robert (Stephen) Corbin (Sr.) on 30 Jun 1851 his father, Robert Corbin, was a revolutionary soldier: "in order to obtain for the children of the aforesaid Robert Corbin the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832 - I have been informed by Robert Chase, a revolutionary pensioner, as well as by others who resided in the immediate neighborhood, that my father Robert Corbin performed Military duty in the Revolutionary War, and served under the following named officers and as herein stated. That he was enrolled in a company of Militia commanded by Captain Jesse Dickerson in the year 1778 or 79; which was commanded by Col. Southy Simpson. That he kept guard at "Holdings Creek" and other places on the sea and bay side. In consequence of the death of my father I cannot state now particularly the different places at which he was stationed in keeping guard. I have been informed that my father immediately after the passage of the law of 1832 in consequence of bodily infirmity made his declaration before a justice of the peace. The justice is now dead and the declaration made before him in my father's life time cannot be found. Robert Chase a revolutionary pensioner stated he served with him on guard and that he believes he served two years or more. He further states that in consequence of the exposed condition of this County the Militia Companies were frequently on duty and he is satisfied that no Company performed more service than Capt. Jesse Dickerson's in which my father was enrolled. My father was born in the County of Accomack, State of Virginia 3rd day of February in the year 1764, and was 79 years old when he died, as will appear by the family record in my possession" (Acc Orders 1851-1854, p . 51). 26 Aug 1851: "It is ordered to be certified to the Court that it appears by satisfactory evidence that Robert Corbin, a declaration of whose services in the Revolutionary War is now on record in this Court, was a resident of this County and died in the same on or about the 15th day of November, 1843.
