Corbin, Margaret

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Corbin, Margaret (born Cochran) (1751–c. 1800)

American Revolution heroine. She accompanied her enlisted husband, John Corbin, and when he was mortally wounded in a battle in 1776, she assumed his position and was wounded. After the battle, she was accorded some of the benefits accorded to war veterans (money and various rations).

She was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. When she was five, her father was killed in an Indian raid in which her mother was taken captive, and she was raised by an uncle. After her husband's death she apparently remarried, but vanished from view about 1783.
