General Notes: Husband - James Thomas Corbett Sr
James Corbett was born in New Hanover County NC about 1800. Nothing is known as to the names of his parents, though the Chinkypin speculates his father as Thomas Corbett, Jr. He was married three times with the first marriage occurring before 1825. James first wife was said to be Mary Elizabeth Peterson who died before 1845. The second wife was Susan Corbett, which he married Jan. 9, 1845. The third wife was Mary Carter, married 1861. The 1850 census for Stewart County, GA listed James wife as Susan. Susan also appears in the Lowndes County census of 1860 as his wife.
James and Mary Elizabeth had the following children:
1. Franklin
2. George W.
3. James T.
4. William
5. Eliza Ann
6. Mary E.
7. John B.
James Corbett moved to Georgia in the 1830s and settled in Lowndes County On July 14, 1858 James Corbett Sr. purchased land from Peter McLeod, which bordered Mud Swamp. Two acres of that purchase were excluded for the Hickory Grove Church.
On May 3, 1859, three acres of land were purchased from James Thomas Corbett, Sr. for the building of the Corinth Baptist Church, in Land Lot 30, 16th Land District. The three trustees who purchased this land were Benjamin Limeburger, Edward McLeod and James Corbett, Sr.
By 1870, the Lowndes County census shows James' (70) wife as Mary Carter (35), daughter of John Carter and sister to Martin T. Carter Sr. as well as Allen Carter. His land is valued at $2000.
The 1880 census for Lowndes County indicates James is 83 years of age and occupation as a farmer. The same census lists wife Mary as 54 years of age. Also enumerated in the household was John Peterson listed as brother. He likely was a brother-in-law as his wife was a Peterson and brother brother Timothy married a Peterson.
It has been told that James was a very thoughtful person. He always asked if one could pay for his seed corn. If the answer was yes they were informed to go elsewhere. His extra corn was given to widows and the poorer families in the area.
James passed away on September 17, 1886 and was buried at Corinth Baptist Church in Lowndes County. He served briefly in the Indian War, being a private in Capt. John Bryan's company of Florida Militia, Aug. 16th to Sept. 15th, 1840. He and his wife were members of Corinth Baptist Church.
Mr. Corbett's third wife, Mary Carter, born 1828, had no children with James. She survived him by about twenty-five years."
