6. Henry Corbin b. 1629, Hall End, Warwick Co., England, d. 8 Jan 1675/76, Peckatone, Westmoreland Co., VA, m. 1657, Lancaster Cove, Alice Eltonhead b. ca. 1630, Buckingham House, Middlesex Co., VA, d. 1683/84, Machodoc, Westmoreland Co., VA, (daughter Richard and Ann (Sutton) Eltonhead, Esq.). Henry came to the Colony in 1654 on the ship Charity, and first resided in the parish of Stratton Major, King & Queen Co., VA. (Note: This parish was named by the Corbins for their old home in the town of Stratton, Co. Cornwall, England). Henry was Registrar from 1663-1667, a member of the King’s Council in 1663, and Burgess from Lancaster Co., VA, 1657, 59, and 60. His portrait in his robes of Office as Councilor of State of Comm. Of England, is hanging at Mt. Airy. The patent for Peckatone was dated 26 Mar 1664. “Peckatom or Peckatone, an Indian name, was a magnificent estate. The house, built of imported brick, within a few yards of the river bank, shaded by old forest trees, grounds laid off on a large scale, it bore some years ago, more of the appearance of a proud aristocratic residence than any other in the county. Many wild stories were told, in my youth, of how a lady owner played the part of a petty tyrant among her overseers and negroes, confining the former in her dungeons beneath the house, and the latter sometimes whipped to death! How she traveled at night in her coach and four, armed with pistols and guns. How in the last day of her recklessness, she, her coach and coachman were borne aloft in a terrible hurricane, and lost to sight. From that day the house remained unoccupied for years. Then, in popular opinion, it was haunted; lights were seen passing from room to room, and awful groans and shrieks at night would assail the ear of the luckless traveler, who happened to be in the vicinity.” This woman in the story was Martha “Patty” (nee Corbin) Turberville, the last mistress of Peckatone. [See below]. In another account of Peckatone, it was described thusly: “Peckatone, an Early Georgian mansion beside the Potomac River, was built in 1750 by Gawen Corbin. The plantation had been named for a local Indian Chief by Nicholas Jernew, the original patentee of the nine hundred acre tract in 1650. Jernew’s patent was transferred in 1660 to Henry Corbin in whose family the estate remained for two hundred years. The design of Peckatone has been attributed to the Colonial architect Richard Taliaferro due to its similarity to Cleve in King George County, a home built by Robert Carter, I for his son, Charles, also believed to be by Taliaferro. Peckatone was destroyed by fire in 1886. The only photograph which remains, taken of the Peckatone ruins, documents its magnificence. An imposing structure of seven bays, its first floor windows were taller than those of the second, as was customary in good design. All windows and the front doorway were trimmed with rubbed brick faces, stone flat arches, and stone sills. The windows, although symmetrical on the facade, were irregularly spaced with those flanking the door being set to lie within the broad center hall. The water table was of molded brick, and the presence of windows at ground level indicates a full basement. The placement of the two noble chimneys within the body of the house demanded the use of a hipped roof. Although precise details of room arrangements are lost to history, precedent examples of other Early Georgian mansions would suggest a traditional center-hall plan flanked by two rooms to either side of both floors. It is possible that the plan of Peckatone was like that of another historic Virginia mansion, Carter’s Grove, where the center hall, broad with flanking windows at the principal entry, narrowed somewhat after its mid-point in the house where it accommodated the stairs. Taken as an Early Georgian composition, Peckatone is speculated to have been a house of excellent proportions. The only hint of interior detail was given by Dr. George Washington Beale who wrote that the house had ‘immense halls and wainscoted rooms.’ The mansion house at Peckatone was flanked by two-storey brick dependencies. A chronicler who visited the house prior to its destruction observed that ‘a wall extended from one corner of the main building to a brick kitchen and servant rooms...’ If such walls had connected the main house to each dependency originally, Peckatone would have been the only house in Westmoreland County to have followed the Palladian example of an enclosed villa-style forecourt popularized in England during the early eighteenth century. Peckatone was inherited by Corbin descendants who married into the Turberville, Taliaferro, Brown, and Murphy families, all distinguished Westmoreland County names. The house was sold out of the family after the ruinous War Between the States to a Samuel Hardwick. Around 1884 a Hardwick daughter sold Peckatone to a Horace Kirkwood who had difficulty meeting the payments. A mysterious fire gutted the house in 1886. Tradition says that prior to this fire, Kirkwood loaded the house’s furnishings onto a boat and left for Maryland where he collected substantial insurance. The Peckatone property became a part of the large estate essembled by John Dos Passos, father of the novelist, in the late 19th century. The brick of the Peckatone ruins was carried off to Stratford during the extensive reconstruction work of the 1930’s. A small part of the original Peckatone property, including the mansion site, was acquired by a descendant of the Hardwick family in 1938. Consideration was given to renovating the extant dependency as a dwelling; however, it is said that the building was too far deteriorated to be revived. The last vestige of the original Peckatone complex was pulled down in the mid 20th century, its foundations now enclosing a flower garden. The site of the mansion at Peckatone has eroded into the Potomac River.
