While i cannot answer your question, I do know there were several Coram/Corum families in Caswell county which is next to Rockingham. On an 1784 tax list there is a William and a Robert, also I found several Corum marriages in Caswell before 1800. I also have marriages for Rockingham, but did not find any early marriages most were after 1840 If I can help, please feel free to email me.
