Surnames: Corwin, Nichols, White Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CAC.2ACI/626.1 Message Board Post: I am researching the Corwin family for a friend. Samuel Corwin and Sarah E. Nichols had four children, Dennis (b. 1864; d. 1876), Walter, Albert W., and Joseph. Albert was clearly named for his uncle. Dennis and Joseph are Corwin names. Joseph m. Della White ca. 1898. They had one son, Joseph (or Orville) b. 1899. Albert married Lucille ?. They had a son named Dennis. All of them seemed to start out in law enforcement. Joseph was a deputy sheriff in 1900 and his father-in-law (Robert White) was a sheriff. In 1910, he sold real estate in Bexar County. Albert was a policeman in 1900. I don't know what happened to their children, but this might give you a starting point.
