R. A., Carl CORBETT NY>TX>OK
Seeking info on R. A. (Robert?) CORBETT, b. 1829 in NY (accdg to census), d. 1895 in TX, bd. at Baird, Callahan Cty TX. Wife unknown. R.A. was a Civil War veteran on the Union side as his gravestone bears Grand Army of the Republic inscription (G.A.R. No. 39); also owned a cattle ranch in Shackelford County, TX. Son: Carl (or Carltore) R. CORBETT, b. 1858 in NY., md. abt 1884 to Ella E. BISHER (b. 1864 in Pennsylvania). Marriage location unknown. Children of Carl and Ella: 1. Ada Bell Corbett, b. 1890 in TX; 2. Robert A. (Robbie) Corbett, b. 1895 in TX, d. 1896 in TX, bd. at Baird, Callahan Cty, TX. I theorize that Robbie may have been named for his granddad R. A. If so, R. A. Corbett would be named Robert also. Carl, Ella & dau. Ada Belle moved from TX to Oklahoma btwn 1900-1910. I found them on the 1910 census in Washington Cty OK (at Dewey) but cannot locate them after that. Marriage record in Washington Cty OK show that Belle Corbett md Oscar HUFFORD on 15 Sept 1911. I do not know for certain that this is the same Ada Belle Corbett. Would like to correspond with others researching these names, with ultimate goal of contacting living descendants, if any. Ella Bisher's sister was my gr grandmother. My genealogy website:
