[1] The son of powerful planter Richard Corbin, a member of the Governor's Council, he was likewise a Loyalist during the American Revolutionary War (during which two brothers served in British forces), but remained in Virginia.
[2] King and Queen County voters first elected Corbin as one of their representatives in the House of Burgesses in 1769, and he won re-election until 1775.
In 1776 the Virginia Convention noted his loyalty to Britain, and he stopped his public activity, instead concentrating on his plantations.
His sons Major Richard Corbin of Laneville plantation and Gawin Lane Corbin of Kings Creek Plantation in York County would both distinguish themselves in the War of 1812 as well as serve in the Virginia House of Delegates representing various Tidewater counties.
