Facts and Events

__________________________
Advisory
Note: Some reserchers have placed William Corbett's birthdate as "abt. 1730", but based upon the birthdate of his wife, Martha Hicklin, his marriage date in 1797, and other records in Bath County, he was likely a generation younger. IGI submissions have his birthdate as "abt. 1776". Based upon the witnessing of William's will by Samuel Corbet, Sr. (of Bath County), he has been placed as his probable son until other sources can prove otherwise.
