I am searching for ANY INFORMATION regarding my great grandfather, Wiley A. Corbit. (Last
name could be spelled Corbitt.) Wiley was born in 1834 in N. Carolina. Parents names
unknown. In 1850, at the age of 15, he was living in Greensfork Township with the family
of Blake and Nancy Wiggs and their children. In 1860, he was still in Greensfork but
living with in the household of Sara Parker and Sarah M. Fulgin or Fulgium (2 women in
their 60's) and there were other children in the household. In 1870, he was married
to Elizabeth Staight and living in White River Township with his family. He then went
into the Civil War (Darke County, Ohio) and returned to Indiana. Elizabeth died and Wiley
married Sopha Johns (of Indiana). Later, the couple and their family moved to Grand
Traverse County, Michigan where Wiley died in 1906.
While Wiley Corbit lived in Randolph County, there were many other Corbits (and Corbitts)
living nearby and I am sure that he was related to some or all of them. Almost all of the
Corbits and Corbitts living in Randolph County, as well as Sara M. Fulgin and Blake &
Nancy Wiggs were born in North Carolina.
If anyone has any information regarding any of this, PLEASE CONTACT ME. I need to find
ancestors who were related to Wiley Corbit in order to figure out who his parents were to
be able to move forward with my genealogy project. Please email me directly at
Pafons(a)aol.com. Thank you! Patti Fons
