My great-great grandmother, Caroline Fairfield CORBIN, commissioned the biography by Mr. Lawson that you reference and also erected the stones at the cemeteries in Woodstock and Dudley, MA. I am a direct descendant of Clement through Calvin CORBIN whose picture is featured in the Lawson biography. I would like to extend the genealogy back in time a few generations to Fordington, Dorset, England. Unfortunately, the church records, ship records, and other records I’ve found so far do not help me pinpoint Clement, his siblings or his parents, John and Margaret.
