Daughter of John W Rambo (Sep 1819 - ??) and Elizabeth Pine. According to her death certificate, she was born in Rising Sun in Chester County. All research I can find shows that Rising Sun, Maryland had originally been located in Chester County but was officially declared part of Maryland after the establishment of the Mason-Dixon line. It's possible that Maggie was born close to the state border, somewhere in that vicinity.

Married Henry J Corbett around 1880 and they had six children together:
D. Webster Corbett
Howard E. Corbett
Ellen E "Nellie" Corbett Mensch
Eva E Corbett
William B Corbett
Jennie S Corbett

Maggie and Henry lived with his parents just after their marriage but later moved into their own home on Cherry Street and later, Walnut Street.

Maggie was a housewife, caring for the home and children while her husband worked as a laborer. After his death in 1925, she lived with her daughter, Nellie.

In 1949, Maggie fell down the stairs in her home (501 1/2 King Street) and was admitted to Pottstown Hospital for 11 days. Due to her fall, she fractured her vertebrae and, according to her death certificate, developed bronco-pneumonia. Maggie died December 8, 1949 at 8:10 PM and is buried next to her husband in Pottstown Cemetery East off of Hanover Street.
