I have received a private communication that is very pertinent here...
--begin quote--
According to two sources, The Calhoun County Museum and The South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research, Summer 1984, Volume XII, Number 3, the Bible is as follows:
Holbrooks Stereotype Edition
The
New Testament
of our
Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ
Translated
Out of the Original Greek
And
With Former Translations
Diligently Compared and Revised
Brattleborough, Vermont
Printed and Sold by John Holbrook
1816
This would indicate information prior to 1816 was transcribed to the Bible after its publishing date. The 1700 entries obviously from another source.
You may be correct about the entry ____llender Corbin was born 4th September 1777 may have been a child of Peter Corbin and Elizabeth Seawright. Apparently though he/she did not survive long for there is no further mention of this person in later court records. I have not seen a Sarah Corbin born 16th February 1774, only Samuel Corbin. No children could have been born after 1777 as Peter Corbin died in mid 1777 as established by SC probate records.
The relationship between Peter Corbin and Elizabeth Seawright is established by a 1813 court bill between John Shank and Samuel Corbin. In that case, John Seawright is stated as being the brother of Elizabeth Corban. The same case also establishes Mary Elizabeth died in SC rather than Mississippi. Her "husband" relocated to Mississippi after her death. The Corbin Bible states her death as June 6, 1798. The 1813 law suit states her death as October 1801. I don't know which is correct.
On the matter of sailing from Ireland stated in the Corbin Bible, I am of the belief that is referring to the Seawrights. In the same entry, it states "James Seawright dyed the 12th of December following on Sea." This fits as the Irish heritage is documented in Seawright family history. With the Bible dated 1816, Peter Corbin was long dead when it was purchased but his wife Elizabeth lived to January 1800. Her son lived until December 22, 1822 and would have been well acquainted with his mother's history.

I think my correspondent is correct, that the 1762 emigration date from Ireland pertains to the SEAWRIGHT family, not to Peter CORBIN, which leaves the origin of this Peter CORBIN wide open. We now have a descendant of Peter & Elizabeth (SEAWRIGHT) CORBIN being tested for the CORBIN DNA project. Needless to say, the results will be eagerly awaited.
Given this CORBIN family's considerable wealth and social status, it's interesting to speculate whether he is related to Henry CORBIN, the immigrant to Virginia from Hall End, Warwickshire. Unfortunately, we have not yet had a descendant of Henry CORBIN join the project, although a *free* test has been offered to such a descendant. Please see project web site for details of the offer:
