Mary was born to a large Quaker family in the Homorton area of Chester County (Kennett In The County Of Chester), Pennsylvania. She and sister, Mary Ann, became teachers in the Friends Society of the Quaker Church.
They and Ellie May, another teacher, traveled to Charleston, SC at the conclusion of the civil war, to teach freed slave children in schools established by the Freedman's Bureau of the US Army, which occupied South Carolina as a military district. Carrie met a local attorney and former Union Army Major, David Timothy Corbin, a local attorney and appointed US Attorney for South Carolina and was married to him. Her sister Mary met and married Major William Stone, a friend and co-worker of Corbins. Corbin and Stone prosecuted the Klu Klux Klan and convicted a large number.
Due to the unrest and threats to the Corbins and Stones, David Corbin took Carrie and their two children and Mary and their two sons to their home in Pennsylvania, where Carries died of peritonitis.
Mary was laid to rest in Longwood Cemetery , in an unmarked grave, due to Quaker customs at the time.
