MAJOR THOMAS CORBET
This surname is traced in Irish record from the time of Edward the Third, in which reign John 'Corbett' 
was  'Constable' of the Castle of Limerick. It is not, however, associated with the character of the 
achievement that marks the families of this 'List'.
In 1655, Miles Corbett, one of the Regicides, of whom a full account is given in The History of the 
County of Dublin, (p.194) was appointed Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, and was subsequently
one of the Commissioners of the Great Seal of Chancery, ... while in 1671, 
Samuel 'Corbett' had a grant of 734 acres in Wexford.
The above Major Thomas rose in the war to be the Lieutenant-Colonel of Fitz-James's Regiment of 
Infantry; and he  it was who, according to Story, "came to De Ginkell, and he proposed the bringing 
over Tyrconnel's and Galmoy's regiments of  Horse, and out of them to make one good regiment to 
serve their Majesties in Flanders,"  provided he could have command.

Another ------- Corbet was appointed Major of Colonel Dudley Bagnall's Infantry, as noted post.
