Please accept my apologies, I deleted the middle name of Borgin from the "Name" area a while ago but never gave thought to removing it from the bio - totally my error. The memorial should be correct now.
A big Thank You to Walter Ashworth for bringing this to my attention! If everyone would be this diligent we would not have so many errors in our genealogy! I do appreciate it!
NOTE from Mr. Ashworth:
Please remove his middle name from the text in FAG. He never had a Middle name.

REGARDING NAME: JAMES "BORGIN" CORBIN - INCORRECT!!
UPDATE: 11 July 2015
Please accept my apologies, I deleted the middle name of Borgin from the "Name" area a while ago but never gave thought to removing it from the bio - totally my error. The memorial should be correct now.
A big Thank You to Walter Ashworth for bringing this to my attention! If everyone would be this diligent we would not have so many errors in our genealogy! I do appreciate it!
NOTE from Mr. Ashworth:
Please remove his middle name from the text in FAG. He never had a Middle name. There is no reference anywhere in the his history (History and Genealogy of the Descendants of Clement Corbin of Muddy River ...) of the Corbins of anybody with that name. Nor does his gravestone indicate that name. I have also contacted the Managers of that Profile on Geni.com and NOBODY that answered can find any reference to that middle name.
