John Corbally immigrated to America in 1747 as the Baptist religion was
introduced in opposition to the King’s Anglicanism. He became a lay
minister, but persecution drove him to the Pennsylvania frontier.
Ordained, he ministered until his death, established many Baptist
churches, and was known as "The ablest Baptist minister of his time in
the Pennsylvania frontier.” This is not a retelling of previously
printed material; it represents over thirty years of meticulous
research. Previously unknown information is disclosed here including:
the bogus picture of him, his birthplace, his true first wife, exact
locations where he lived in Virginia and Pennsylvania, his long-lost
treatise on The Believer’s Defense of Baptism, his involvement in the
Ketoctin and Redstone Baptist Associations, his involvement in the
Whiskey Insurrection from the government’s point of view, the Corbly
Massacre as described in his and his daughter’s letters, and many other
previously unknown facts. A detailed index is provided.*Baptized in 1761 and imprisoned for preaching the Baptist religion in Virginia in 1768.
*Revolutionary War soldier, Chaplain, Militiaman, Judge, Patriot, and Indian fighter.
*Delegate to the General Assembly in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1777-1778.
