General Notes: Husband - Edward Corwin


He and his brother Phineas were in mercantile business in New York City for a time under the name Currin, but soon altered the spelling to Corwin, the proper name.

He moved to Connecticut about 1775, and after the Revolutionary War was a merchant in New York City, then moved to Cazenovia, Madison County, New York, thence about 1822 to Norwich township, McKean County, Pennsylvania. He enlisted in the continental army at the age of seventeen years and served six years. He received a pension for his revolutionary service until his death. During the revolution he was taken prisoner by the Indians, who delivered him to the British, they holding him twenty-two months. He also received five hundred acres of bounty land, which, however, he was cheated out of by agents and a lawyer. He had many thrilling experiences during his military career; was in the battle of Mon-mouth, at the surrender of Burgoyne, saw Major Andre hanged and was with General Sullivan in his expedition up the Susquehanna after the Wyoming massacre. He lived to the great age of ninety years. He was a farmer, and he and his wife were for over forty years members of the Baptist church. He died at the farm of his son on Potato Creek, McKean County, Pennsylvania.
