• Notes

  On her marriage record, her parents are given as John and Sophia CORKUM, and on her death record, they are Peter and Martha CORKUM. BeCAUSe she is born at “Mt. Pleasant” on her death record, this would indicate that her parents are John Peter and Sophia (HUBLEY) CORKUM. However, that would mean that she was born when her mother was 50 yrs of age. Also, one the witnesses at her marriage is a Ruth CORKUM, who is probably the daughter of John Christopher and Sophia (HUBLEY) CORKUM. So, the best guess seems to be that she is the d/o John Christopher and Sophia (HUBLEY) CORKUM. [Bob H]
