26. ASA CORBIN (James, James, Clement), b. May 15, 1746, at Dudley; Samuel Corbin was appointed his guardian, April 29, 1760. He m. Patience Smith Nov. 16, 1769, at Dudley. He was a soldier in the Revolution, his record being given by the Pension Bureau at Washington as follows: "Asa Corbin, aged 91 (?), residing at Nassau, N. Y., applied for a pension Aug. 9, 1832. He stated that he was born at Dudley, Mass., in May, 1741 (?), and there enlisted in the fall of 1775 under Capt. Nathaniel Healey, in Col. Ebenezer Learned's Mass. Regiment, and served two months as a private. In June, 1776, he again enlisted under Capt. Nichols, Col. Jonathan Holman's regiment, and served five months, participating in the battle of White Plains. Afterwards [date not stated] he served four and a half months under Capt. Healey and Col. Learned. His claim was allowed at $33.33 per annum, commencing March 4, 1831." Timothy and Joshua Corbin made affidavits that they served with him in 1776 and were in the battle of White Plains.

Asa Corbin gave a deed Feb. 17, 1794, in Worcester County, Mass. Family tradition says that he went to White Plains, Westchester County, N. Y., where he engaged in business as a tanner. But, as shown above, he resided at Nassau, Rensselaer County, N. Y., in 1832. No descendants are known.

27. TIMOTHY CORBIN (James, James, Clement), b. July 24, 1750; m. Abigail Vinton Oct. 20, 1774; she was the dau. of Joshua and Mary Vinton, and was b. Aug. 18, 1775, at Dudley, and d. there May 20, 1828. Timothy Corbin was a farmer and glazier at Dudley. He was a soldier in the Revolution (although owing to the incompleteness of the public records his name was not recorded). But his service is proved in several ways. Asa Corbin of Nassau, Rensselaer County, N. Y., made affidavit Feb. 9, 1831, before Justice James Hoag, that he, Timothy, and Joshua Corbin served together in Capt. Nichols' Company, Col. Holman's Regiment, Gen. Fellows' Brigade, the full term of five months, and that they fought in the battle of White Plains. This Asa Corbin was doubtless his brother. Timothy's grandson, Dr. J. V. Mansfield, who had personal recollection of him, stated that he was a soldier in the army and was at White Plains, N. Y., and also at New York at the time of the evacuation of the British. His granddaughter, Abigail Dodge Clemens, well remembers his telling her that he served in the Revolution. In the Pension Bureau at Washington is an affidavit of Timothy Corbin and Joshua Corbin, made at Dudley, Mass., Oct. 5, 1830, that they served with Asa Corbin as above. He held several public offices in Dudley, being constable and collector most of the time from 1784 to 1791. He d. Oct. 26, 1831, at Dudley.
