Rev. Harvey M. Lawson, Ph.B., B.D., "History and Genealogy of the Descendants of Clement Corbin of Muddy River (Brookline) Mass. and Woodstock, Conn.", 1905, p. 184 #279 "AMASA CORBIN (William, Joseph, John, Jabez, Clement). b. Dec. 12, 1802, at Champlain, N.Y. at the Age of 12 years, his father having died, he went to Hancock, Mass. to live with *Joshua Foster, his step-father. He m. Phebe Maria Foster, March 2, 1828. She was the daughter of Capt. Joshua Foster, his step-father, by his former marriage with Susan Carpenter, and was. b. Sept. 5, 1809. * Lawson p. 101 #126 says his mother married Capt. John Foster*

The children of Joshua and Susan (Carpenter) Foster were Marilla Experience (m. Norton), Thomas Nelson, Phebe Maria, Joshua C., Harriet Lavinia, and Sarah Ann. Joshua Foster traces his ancestry back as follows: John, Nathaniel, Chillingsworth, John, Thomas, who came to America in 1634. (See Foster Genealogy.) Susan Carpenter was the dau. of Thomas G. (d. 1834, ae. 76), and Experience Carpenter (d. Feb. 6, 1804, ae. 48), dau. of Daniel and Deborah Carpenter. Thomas Carpenter was the son of Joseph Carpenter (d. Aug. 29, 1796) and Sarah Greenman (b. in Newport, R. I.; d. 1820).

In 1830 Amasa CORBIN settled upon a large farm four miles from Gouverneur village, St. Lawrence County, New York, where he spent the rest of his life. The road passing his farm was, at the time of his settlement, bordered by dense woods. Wolves were plenty, and once he was compelled to protect his flock by throwing fire brands in the air throughout the night. Eight sheep were killed; however. Mr. CORBIN made the first cheese in St. Lawrence County, and at one time had the largest dairy, numbering sixty cows. His first season's make of cheese was marketed in Montreal, to which point he hauled it on a sleigh, selling it at three cents a pound. Afterwards, for a number of years, he sent his produce in barrels to Boston and New York commission houses.

Amasa CORBIN was a man of peculiar temperament. an ardent hater of shams, fearless in the expression of his opinions, even when, as in 1861, to speak them was tantamount to social ostracism and personal danger; a Democrat of Democrats; a believer that the sons of Ham were predestined hewers of wood, and consequently a cordial opponent of the theory of equality which for forty years enthralled the sympathies of the vast majority of the people in the northern states; hones in everything; a man of marvelous memory, and able to marshal and express his opinions forcibly; quick at repartee and, withal, genial and sociable with everybody, whether of high or lowly station.

His wife was indeed a helpmate to him. His sometime prodigality was offset by her calculating economy; his tendency to let the burden of life rest easily upon him was balanced by her untiring industry. She was largely the builder of the competence with which both were blessed as the days of their lives came to a close.
(The above account is from the History of St. Lawrence County, by Gates Curtis, Ogdensburgh, New York (1894), and was prepared essentially by J. S. CORBIN).
