CORBITT, GEORGE WASHINGTON
1830-1864
ECHOLS

George Washington Corbitt was born 1830 in North Carolina, a son of James Corbitt.  The latter was a native of Virginia and moved with his family to Lowndes County about 1840, and died about 1880.  George W. Corbitt moved to Echols County about 1857, and was married twice.  His first wife, Harriet Amanda Lee, born 1833 in Georgia.  There were five children born by her.  The second wife was Elizabeth Carter, born 1840, daughter of Jesse Carter (q. v.).  She died March 29, 1882.  By her there were three children born.  The children by the two marriages were:

1. Mary Annb. 1851, m. John M. Carter.
2. James      b. 1853, m. Delitha Carter, daughter of George C.
3. Sophroniab. 1854, died young.

He died early in 1865 on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, while stationed there in the Conferderate Army.  His widow, Elizabeth, was appointed administratix of his estate, and closed out the administration in July 1876.

General Notes: Husband - John Robinson



ROBINSON, JOHN.
1790-1835
APPLING

John Robinson (or Robeson) was born in Pitt County, N. C., about 1790, a son of James Robeson, R. S. He came to Georgia with his parents in his youth, and was married, probably in Tattnall County, to Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac Carter, youngest brother of George Carter (q. v.). To them were born the following children:

1. William.b. 1808, m. Sarah Carter, dau. of William (Vol. ll)
2. Lazarusb. 1811, m. Eady
3. Civilityb. 1815, m. Stogner Harris.
4. Jamesb. 1818, m. Mary
5. Molsy Annb. 1824, m. William. Carter, son of Wm. (Vol. ll).

The 1820 Census indicates John Robinson and wife had eight children at that time, but deed records showing disposition of lands owned by him at his death, show the above were all the surviving heirs in 1836. John Robeson lived in the 3rd district of Appling County and died there about 1835. He was first cousin to the above James T. Robinson.
