General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough and well sourced. The hook is interesting and cited. A QPQ is done. The only issue is that there seems to be a suggestion on the image's page, that the portrait might not be of Corbin? "No reliable sources yet identify the sitter as Hannah Corbin Lee. Other (equally poor sources) identify it as Dolley Madison." https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hannah_Corbin_Lee.jpg - I'd be happy to support this DYK without the picture, but it seems like some clarification needs to made in terms of the image (or find another) Lajmmoore (talk) 20:49, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lajmmoore Thanks, it's my bad. I can't seem to recall where I got that image from anymore, so I probably misread something. I have since removed the image from the nom and the article. My apologies. Kingoflettuce (talk) 07:45, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Kingoflettuce No worries - we get mixed up. I've approved the DYK now. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:47, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I managed to find the cited book, which actually had the seemingly correct date for her husband's death, 1760 not 1750 as originally here. I also have doubts that she named both her daughters Martha, as clearly the daughter by Gawin Corbin had that name (his mother's) lived long enough to merry. In that era generally families recycled names of infants who died, not of adults. But this library too is closing and I don't know when I'll be able to check worldcat to locate the Kerrigan volume cited. Jweaver28 (talk) 22:51, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
