Vincent Corbet, Esq. of Inner Temple (b. c. 1616, age 26 in 1642). On 15 July 1642 at St. Faith, he married Jane (b. c. 1621), dau. of John Acton, goldsmith & Blandina Penwin, Lady Skipwith.[1]
Notes
Burke, n.d.: Robert Corbet, esq. succeeded to the Humfreston estate. He married Bridget, eldest daughter and heiress of Sir James Pryse, knt. of Ynysymaengwyn, in the county of Merioneth, (which lady re-married to Sir Walter Lloyd, knt.) and by her had issue:
- Vincent, of Ynysymaengwyn, ancestor of the Corbets of that place.
- Thomas
- James
- Elizabeth
- Bridget
- Jane
- Mary
Vincent was born in 1615*. He was the son of Robert Corbett and Bridget Pryce. He passed away in 1669.
- *His b. is corroborated with the info found in Mrs. Corbet's book, which states his christening was in 1615 and that the marriage license records him as age 26 in 1642. If the b. date shown of June 4, 1615 is correct, the m. must have been prior to June 1642.
