Joseph Corwin, Jr.

Corwin.

The Corwin lineage is traced back to the reign of Ethelred,-about 870 A.D. The
early form of the name was “Culwen,” which became in time “Curwen,” and after its
transplanting to America took the present form. The family was for centuries established in Cumberland, England. In 1638 Capt. George Curwen of Northampton emigrated to Salem, Mass. At the time of the Revolution a descendant,-Joseph Corwin, was living at Log Jail (now Hackettstown) in New Jersey. In 1790 he, with his wife and family, “followed the flag” to a new home in Stamford township, where they settled on Crown land. Their family numbered fourteen, their two youngest sons, Joseph and Benjamin (twins) marrying daughters of Israel Swayze. Here are the epitaphs of the old Loyalist couple and of Joseph junior,- “Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Corwin, who died April 16th, 1815, aged 84 years.” “Joseph Corwin, Sen., who died May 25th, 1805 aged 84 years.” “Joseph Corwin, Jun., died Feb.7th, 1807, aged 32 years.” It may be noted that father and son had passed away but the aged widow and mother survived to see the years of pillage, privation and terror that the war of 1812 brought upon their adopted home. Here is an inscription that entwines the names of three pioneer families : “Naomi, wife of Henry Johnson, departed this life March 2nd, 1825, aged 72 years. She was the daughter of Joseph Corwin and former wife of Timothy Hixson, who died in the year 1792.”
