( The Hawley Line !.
The surname Hawley seems to have had a Norman origin. At any rate it !- used by a Norman at the time of the Conquest and appears in the Battle Abbey. The family has been prominent in Derbyshire since about A. D., 1200. We have six generations of an okl pedigree in that county. Doubtless many of the families branched off this line. John Haw- ley (5). of Banbridge, had an only daugh- ter and heir. Anna, who married Thomas Blount. He was the son of Thomas Hawley. of Ersby, and grandson of Sir William Haw- ley, of Ersby. Sir William's father was also Sir William and his grandfather was Robert de Ilawley. Coat-of-arms of the Derby famn- ily: Vert a saltire engrailed argent.

try of which his uncle, Philip Corbin, was the organizer and head, the P. & F. Corbin estab- lishment being one of the greatest of its kind in the world. He learned the business thoroughly in all its details. beginning at the bottom and working his way upward, serving at first in the capacity of timekeeper in the factory. The men above him, recognizing his ability, and as a reward for his efforts, gave him a place on the road when he felt that he was qualified for it. He was endowed with a remarkably pleasing personality, possessed a well-developed social side, was genial and had a fund of good stories, and these qualities opened the road to success. He represented a large house in a large way, and. traveling as he did, all over the country, he soon estab- lished a reputation and following in all the big trade centers of the United States, a repu- tation which could justly be called national. Naturally he concentrated attention still more strongly upon the hardware business, in which his entire family was interested, and with his highly-developed qualifications and unistial strength of character he became a very impor- tant factor in the upbuilding of the Corbin Cabinet Lock Company, which was established as a separate company in 1882, of which George W. Corbin was manager, secretary in 1896, and then president until 1903.
Having brought the company to such a pros- perous state that it no longer depended upon his personal leadership, and being opposed to its pending consolidation with the American Hardware Company. he resigned from the company and reorganized the Union Manufac- turing Company, of which he became president and which immediately and consequently en- tered upon a period of splendid growth and prosperity. Mr. Corbin built a new plant, in- stalled new equipment, and infused into the organization a spirit of progress that tended to the rapid expansion of the business. His great success in this executive work encour- aged Mr. Corbin to form other manufactur- ing corporations. These were the Corbin Brothers Company. the Dean Steel Die Com- pany, and the Corbin-Church Company. in all of which he held official rank, namely: Presi- dent of the Union Manufacturing Company and the Corbin Brothers Company, and treas- urer of the Corbin-Church Company and the Dean Steel Die Company. He was also in- strumental in establishing the People's Sav- ings Bank of New Britain, of which he was president : was director of the New Britain Savings and Loan Association and the New Britain Realty Company, and a trustee of the New Britain Trust Company.

Republican party in New Britain.

He refused re- nomination and all further political honors un- til 1906, when he was unanimously nominated for state senator, but was defeated. He took an active part in the work done by the city school board up to the time of his death. He was a thirty-second degree Mason, holding membership in Harmony Lodge, Free and Ac- cepted Masons: Washington Commandery. Knights Templar ; Sphinx Temple. Mystic Shrine.
