• Notes

  [E. T. Corwin's genealogy contains only one entry for a William Corwin who had a wife Philothea. He recorded her as Philothea Homan, with children William and Barnabas. William was recorded with a questionable birth date of 1790; and his lineage was recorded as Richard -> Jedediah -> Daniel -> Daniel -> Theophilus -> Matthias.] [The children recorded in the 1850 census could, I suppose, be children of Philothea from a prior marriage to a Mr. Raynor. Barney is perhaps Barnabas in E. T. Corwin's compilation.] [William H. Corwin's middle name was likely "Hallock," but proof has not yet been found.]
