  Married	23 Jun 1774	Hampton City, York County, Pennsylvania
  Notes	After marriage in 1774 they came to Lincoln County, North Carolina, the next winter, as their oldest child was born in Lincoln County in 1775. As they came to North Carolina they were snow bound in Virginia about forty days, and during that time they stayed with a farmer. Corpening threshed wheat at one shilling and board per day, and his wife helped the farmers wife for her board. It is said that there was another man who came with them, he said he would not work for one shilling per day, but would rather pay that amount for board. Albert lived about one year in Lincoln County, then moved to Burke County (now Caldwell County) and settled on Lower Creek. The log house that he built on the east side of Lower Creek was still standing in 1920. The land Albert owned was granted by Earl Granville under King George II - being granted to Philip Kearns, January 8, 1761. It was conveyed to Conrad Mitchel in 1762, then to John Conrad Kerns in 1744, then to Christopher Beckman in 1780, and to Albert Corpening in 1780. The family that left North Carolina for Maryland and later Pennsylvania spelled their name Chorpening.
