Allegany County/Holtsberry-Corbus
I am searching for information regarding the wife of Nicholas Holtsberry who married Catharine about 1788 and was in Allegany County by 1800.Nicholas and Catharine Holtsberry left Allegany County and settled in Licking Co Ohio where most of their children lived.One son, John reamined in Allegany County and is the ancestor of those living in the Barbour area.
A reference to a birth in Ohio gives Cathryn Corbus as the mother of one of Nicholas & Catharine's children but the father is listed as Richard not Nicholas.Nicholas & Catharine did have a son named Richard but he is too young to be the father of this Susan and his wife was Catherine Harter.Nicholas and Catharine did have a daughter Susannah born at this time.
Catharine was born about 1760.Could she be the daughter of Godfrey Corbus b. about 1744 in Allegany County?
I would like to correspond with anyone doing Corbus research in this area to try to determine if Corbus may be her maiden name.
