Am looking for a George CORBETT as well.He resided with my gggrandfather, Waters Nathan WAITE and a Frank/Francis G. HOWELL, in 1860 in LaPorte, Sierra, CA.They were all blacksmiths and gold miners.George was b. @1834 in South Canada.(Frank was from New York...Waters from Vermont)I suspect the three of them might have known each other before arriving in California as they appeared to have kept in touch.A G.H. CORBETT arrived 3 Jun. 1898 at Tagish Lake in the Yukon Territory from Seattle.An A.M. CORBETT arrived the same day also from Seattle.(I presume a relationship there.)A F.H. HOWELL arrived at Tagish Lake 6 Jun. 1898 from Modesto CA.My gggrandfather arrived in the Yukon 1897/1898.I believe they were mining together again.I've searched for twenty years for Waters' parents.Now working on George and Frank in the hope that their ancestry might point me toward his.Anything ring bells?
