General Notes: Husband - Franklin Corbett
Franklin (aka Francis) Corbett was born July 23, 1825 in Hanover County, North Carolina, a son of George and Sophie Sutton Corbett (1). Folks Huxford erroneously identified his parents as George's brother James and his wife Amanda (2). In fact, Mr Huxford made many mistakes on this Corbett family. Francis married about 1851 to Winnie Stuart, born 1826 (1) a daughter of James T. Stewart. Franklin and Winnie had the following eight children; all born in Georgia (1) (4):
Sarah E. b. Jan. 18,1852, d. Mar 12, 1929 m. Allen W. Carter about 1869
Martha Ann b. Aug. 31, 1854, d. May 14, 1932 never married
Roxie Ann b. Apr. 17, 1856, d. 1812 m. Henry Hunter of Echols Co
Mary Jane b. Mar. 10, 1858 m. Gilford H. Register Harriet Amanda b. Mar. 10, 1860, d. Oct. 8, 1922 (5) m. Ebenezer DeLoach
Jefferson D. b. July 30,1861, d. May 10, 1931 m. 1st: Rebecca Copeland; 2nd Nancy Westberry
Eliza b. Nov. 25,1863, d 1871
George W. b. Nov. 16.1865 m. Lilla Ireland
Frank's father George is not found in the 1840 census for Stewart County, however George's brother James and his family were enumerated here.
Franklin was enumerated in the home of his father, George and sister, Sarah, during the 1850 US Census for Stewart County, Georgia (6). These three are found living next to Frank's cousin Washington and his wife Amanda. Residing in the dwelling next to Washington and Amanda are Frank's uncle (George's brother) James Corbett, wife Susan and their six children.
Franklin Corbett relocated from Stewart County during the 1850s and is found as a farmer and a married man in the 1860 Census of Echols County. The Corbett family resides in the 1211 Georgia Militia District. This Population Schedule lists the family thusly; Francis 31, August (Winnie) age 29, Sarah E age 8, Martha age 6, Roxyann age 4, Mary Jane age 2, and Harriet age 6 months. His land is valued was $1500 and personal assets were $400 (4).
Franklin was a founding member and appears as a clerk of the Sardis Baptist Church on April 13, 1862 having received his letter from Corinth church. Franklin's signature appears on the original church constitution with brother George among others (3) (8).
Frank is listed in the 1864 Census for Re-organizing the Georgia Militia as living in Echols County, 6th Senatorial District - 1211th Militia District. He listing is: Corbitt, Franklin, 36 yrs.6 mons., Farmer, b. NC. (7)
Frank passed away on October 31, 1867 in Lowndes County, Georgia (1). Winnie followed her husband in 1898. Franklin and Winnie were buried in Hickory Grove Cemetery in Lake Park, Lowndes County, Georgia (9).

General Notes: Husband - Ebenezar Deloach
FAG Volunteer Ann (#46833496):
He was the son of General DeLoach (1797-1884). Ebenezer's mother was Sarah Bohannon Deloach.
FAG Voluteer Nan (#47338206)
Ebenezer's first wife was Harriet (Heart) Amanda Corbett. They had four children: William Riley DeLoach, Alice DeLoach Webb, Indiana (India) DeLoach Payne, and Sarah DeLoach Padgett.
Ebenezer had a farm in Lowndes County, Georgia and then at Lee, Madison County, Florida. After 1915, he farmed in Taylor County, Florida. He grew corn, cotton, peanuts, and sugar cane. In Madison County, Ebenezer made sugar cane syrup from sugar cane. He used a mule on a pole walking in a circle to turn the apparatus to mash the cane. He played the fiddle and his son William Riley played the banjo at Saturday night dances in homes and so forth. Ebenezer's favorite tune to play was "Pop Goes the Weasel" He liked giving a big pluck on "Pop". The words went: "All around the potato house, Sally's got the measles; Polly's got the whooping cough; Pop goes the weasel!"
During the birth of their fourth child, Heart Amanda suffered 62 convulsions. Recovery may not have been complete and her sister Martha Corbett took her in to nurse. Heart Amanda lived her life out with Martha.
Ebenezer's second wife was Georgia Denmark Bohannon, who had two children from a previous marriage. The children Ebb and Georgia had together were Annie Mae DeLoach Sadler and Ebenezer D. DeLoach, Jr. They lost their son Rhoan at birth. When Ebenezer's daughter Alice was almost dying with a kidney infection, he drove his wagon to her husband's farm and brought Alice to his farm. Then he told his present wife Georgia to nurse his daughter back to health. She did although Alice was bed ridden for six months. Thanks to Georgia's care, Alice returned to her farm to have more children with her husband J. Louis Webb.
Ebenezer was at his daughter Alice's farm when he had a stroke. Alice attended Corinth Primitive Baptist Church in Lee, Florida. Since Ebenezer couldn't walk right after his stroke, the whole church would come out on Sunday after their regular services to have a sermon or two as well as the singing of hymns for Ebenezer at Alice's farm.

General Notes: Wife - Harriet Amanda Corbett
Harriet (Heart) Amanda Corbett is the daughter of Franklin Corbett and Winnie Stuart Corbett. Since so many people called her Heart, that name was chosen for her stone. Her other nicknames included Manda and Mink. "Heart" expressed how people felt about her, and one can imagine a small child trying to say "Harriet" and coming out with "Heart". Harriet attended the Primitive Baptist Church.
The family is indebted to her youngest daughter, Sarah DeLoach Padgett, who wrote her parents' and grandparents' names and dates in a very small notebook. Amanda and Ebenezer's first child was William Riley DeLoach. Alice and Indiana soon followed. Amanda had a difficult time in the later births.
In the birth of the last child, Amanda suffered 62 convulsions. Although she did survive, she had to be cared for in the home of her sister Martha. She did not let the remaining difficulties deter her from visiting and getting to know each grandchild as each was born. She writes her daughter Alice Webb in 1909, "Dear Daughter: ...Say, is your husband related to any of the Webbs in Hahira, Georgia? The one I have reference to is Miss Lizzie Webb." Heart Amanda loved her family and was well loved by family. She told her granddaughter Amanda Webb that the name they shared came from her grandmother, Amanda Lee (wife of James Corbett-b.1797; d. 1886).
