CORBIN, b: abt 1830, lived Bell Co, TX 1876-1906," was posted by Chad Heap on Tue, 24 Aug 1999 Surname: Corbin, Cowan, Hood --- NAME: Chad Heap EMAIL: CCHeap@aol.com DATE: Aug 24 1999 URL: http:// QRYTEXT: I mistakenly ordered the 1906 Confederate Pension Application of Drury H. Corbin, of Bell Co., TX from the Texas State Archives. I would be happy to send my copy to anyone researching Corbin or his family. From the 1906 pension application, I have discerned the following: He was born around 1830, served in Co. F of the 15th Texas Cavalry, enlisted about 1 June 1862 and was discharged in 1865. At the time the application was made, he had lived in the countryside near Temple, Bell Co., TX for thirty years. He held no real property in 1906, "only one horse & buggy worth about $140.00." He was a bachelor. James W. Cowan and O. M. Hood served as witnesses to verify Corbin's military service. In response to a request from the Comptroller, State of Texas, for Corbin's military service record, the Military Secretary of the U. S. War Department responded that records listed a "Drew H. Corbin, private, Company F, 15th Texas Cavalry, C. S. A., enlisted March 12, 1862, and reenlisted February 17, 1864, for the war. He was captured November 30, 1864, at Franklin Farm, Tennessee, and was finally received at Camp Douglas, Illinois, December 6, 1864. No later record of him has been found." If you have any link to the gentleman, please contact me and I will send the application out. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
