1692-1695 on Nicholas Corbin of Baltimore are my earlier findings.Nicholas was constable of Patapsco Hundred in 1692.
1694 tax list of Nicholas Corbin, and Nicholas Corbin,Jr..Did some record keeper list Nicholas Corbin, Jr., and possibly should have listed a "Nathaniel" Corbin, who may have been a brother to Nicholas Corbin. Note that the 1699 tax list shows a Nathaniel Corbin, and in 1700 he is listed as "Nathan" Corbin. It is my personal opinion that many of the Corbin researchers have placed their lineage going back to Old Nicholas Corbin, and they should be going back to "Nathaniel" Corbin.{kgk}
