     Savage Corbin (of Ralph) was listed in the 1800 Census as age 26-45 (b.c. 1755-1775) with a wife of the same age, 3 sons under 10, 1 duaghter under 10, 2 free negros and 1 slave.

In 1820 he was over 45 (b. before 1775) with a wife of the same age, 1 son 10-16, 1 son 16-18, 1 son 16-26, 1 daughter 10-16, 1 daughter 16-18, and no free negros or slaves. He was not listed in the 1830 Acc Census. Based on the above he would have had to have been born between 1765 and 1775, thus a b.c. 1770 was selected.

In 1810 Savage Corbin and his wife Polly sold 22 acres of A148 (just west of Hallwood) to his brother Ralph Corbin and two years later 20 acres more (Whitelaw, p. 1267). Whitelaw's assumption that this Ralph was Savage's brother is apparently incorrect. Savage did have a brother Ralph named in thier father's will, but as Whitelaw goes on to state that Ralph left it to his wife Betsey and their unnamed children in 1815 disproves that they were brothers, for the Ralph that died in 1815 with a wife Betsey (she was Elizabeth Dennis) was Rev.
