I recently acquired a power of attorney from the estate of Norris dated 1879 leaving a sum of money to his two grandchildren named Sarah Frances Corbit of Ohio and Henry S. Corbit of Wayne County, Iowa and the appointed attorney for both parties is A. M. Corbit of Wayne County, Iowa. We never knew the name of the girls but their brother, Ralph born in 1835 remained in Canada and named his first born son, George Corbit in 1856. Is Mary H. one of the Humphrey girls?
