All information is derived from the Corwin family Bible transcription, census, SSDI and Eau Claire County and Hamlin Co SD records. I have more on these people than is listed here. John and William Corwin, sons of Daniel Corwin and Jemima Ryan, began their westward migration in the Finger Lakes region of New York where they grew up. Jemima Ryan is the eldest child of Thomas Ryan and Charity Cuatt. Thomas Ryan was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. William, soon after marriage, moved first to West Union in Steuben County NY and John went to Jasper, in Steuben County. William then moved on to Titusville, PA before arriving in the Eau Claire vicinity around 1880 with his brother John and their grown sons and grandchildren. William was a blacksmith. John was a farmer. Accompanying them was Theophilus Corwin and his wife and family. He was a cousin; his wife was married to William and John’s brother who died in the Civil War. Joining them was another Theophilus Corwin, John & William’s nephew. Besides the Corwin sons, a daughter, Myra Corwin Knight, wife of Albert Knight also emigrated from Pennsylvania. All of them homesteaded in Pleasant Valley, starting with the arrival of Myra & Albert Knight between 1865 and 1870. John eventually moved into Washington township. Theophilus bought and sold many pieces of property before moving into Eau Claire city, and William moved to a different piece of property, still within Pleasant Valley. By the early 1900’s all the Corwin except John’s son George had moved into Eau Claire City or emigrated westward. John died in 1905 and William and Theophilus in 1907 in Eau Claire. Some of their descendants continued to live in and around Eau Claire.
