LEWIS CORBAN, son of William Corban, was born in Culpeper County, Va.,
April 4, 1754.  He was raised up on his father's farm, receiving a very
meagre [sic] education.  His father's family were all irreligious [sic], and
he gave no attention to the interest of his soul, till he was about thirty
years of age.  At this time, he became deeply impressed with the importance
of eternal things.  After a long struggle, he obtained hope in Jesus, and
was baptized by John Pickett, in 1786. He began immediately to speak to
the people about the blessed peace he enjoyed through the Savior, and
gave such evidence of a call to the ministry, as induced his church to
have him ordained the same year.  Soon after his ordination, he was
called to a church over the Blue Ridge, where he continued to preach til
he moved to Kentucky.  In 1797, he was called to the care of Grassy Lick
Church, located about seven miles north-east from Mt. Sterling, Ky.
During the great revival of 1801-02, he baptized 127 into the fellowship
of that church.  Among these, were his son Samuel, and a little girl
named Polly Colver only eight years old.
     About 1804, he moved to Bourbon county, settled near the mouth of
Petty Run, and took charge of Stony Point Church.  He lived at this
place about twelve years, when, having lost three sons, from disease
which he supposed to have been caused by an adjacent mill-pond, he moved
his residence to the lower end of the county, but still retained the
care of Stony Point church.  His charge enjoyed a very moderate degree
of prosperity.  In 1825, it attained a membership of 69, after which,
like most of the other churches in Licking Association, it gradually
declined.  Mr. Corban continued the pastor of Stony Point church till
old age necessitated his resignation.  Towards the close of his life, he
was much afflicted with "gravel."  He died from the effects of a fall,
April 1, 1840.
