About
The Corbly Association was formed to honor the contributions of Reverend John Corbly, a prominent early settler of western Pennsylvania. Reverend Corbly served in the militia during the Revolutionary War and started over 30 Baptist churches in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia (now West Virginia). In a tragic event, his 2nd wife and 3 children were massacred by Indians as they travelled from their home to a church service in Garards Fort. Two other daughters were scalped but lived through their ordeal. Reverend Corbly was married three times and had 17 children.
A reunion of his descendants was initiated in 1932 and continues to the present day.
