The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
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]
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]
