In 1850, the Corbin family was now 12 members. Chauncey, Violetta, Ellen E, Olive M, Orrin A, Oscar W, James G, Pamela S, John L, William P, and Ludd D Corbin. The Corbins lived their entire lives in Albany Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, USA. In 1860 we can add one more member to the family, Lucy Corbin born 29th Jan 1852. Mom, Violetta had several helpers still at home - Oscar, James, Sophia, William, and Ludd. By 1870, the Corbin household was shrinking. Chauncey 58, Violetta 62 and their children James, William, Ludd, and Lucy were still at home. Bernice Kellogg age 9 was also living with them. By 1880, Bernice Kellogg, age 19, was still living with the elderly Corbins: Chauncey, age 72, and Violetta, age 68.

Chauncy & Violetta Corbin had 3 more children preceed them in death: Joseph Gaylord Corbin 1840-1878, Pamela Sophia CORBIN 1842-1866, and Lucy Violette CORBIN Hibbard 1852-1881. Plus another Son who died from a tragic accident 11 months after his father's death. Ludd Delanson Corbin,36, was gored by a bull on his farm and died from the wounds leaving 7 children without a father. Poor Violetta, couldn't recover from one loss before dealing with another.

1 May 1884

Chauncey H. CORBIN died at his residence in Albany Twp. on Tuesday, April 22nd, aged 76 years. Funeral was held at the house on Thursday. Interment in the Family Cemetery on the farm.

He was born in Warrant Twp., Bradford Co., in 1808, where he lived until 21 years old when he commenced teaching, which he followed for thirty consecutive years during the winter, farming summers.

In 1830, he married Miss Violaty GAYLORD, of Wyalusing, who is still living. They resided the next ten years at Warren and Wyalusing. About 1844, he removed to the farm where he died in Albany. At that time, it was a wilderness with no roads and only here and there a clearing. It required two days for him to reach his destination after leaving Wyalusing, a distance of about ten miles, a sled and yoke of oxen being his means of conveying his goods through the forest.

A family of 11 children were born to them, 7 sons and 4 daughters, 2 of the latter, Mrs. William D. HAVERLY, of Forks, and Mrs. Jessie R. MC CARTY, of Elkland, reside in our county.
