    I am researching the ORBIN Family that has its origins with Philip ORBIN in Fayette County, Pennsylvania in the late 1700's. Phillip married Ellen SHERRICK. They had a son John Philip ORBIN born in 1795. John married Barbara Walker in 1823 and together they had 14 children.

    John was a vereran of the War of 1812. Four of John and Barbara' sons served in the Civil War, two of them died in the war.

    I am interested in any information on the Orbin family and in tracing the European origins of the family. Would be glad to share information.
