Biography
Arrival on the Homestead
Corrine and her husband, before coming to the Homestead, had worked as innkeepers in Boston, a profession which they enjoyed very much, but were forced to leave when the Redcoats took the inn for military business and they were left wandering until they came across the Davenport Homestead. On the recommendation of the Homestead's residents, who appreciated the alcohol and good company, Connor agreed to put forth the money for the construction of a tavern on the Homestead, to which Corrine hugged her husband in joy at the prospect of having an inn again. The inn and tavern was ultimately named the "Mile's End", and provided bed and board for civilians, as well as good food and drink for Connor to sell.
Life on the Homestead
After the couple took up their roles as innkeepers and barkeeps, Corrine revealed that their business was doing very well, between the income received from sailors from the Aquila, residents of the Homestead, and travelers passing through.
When Father Timothy arrived at the Homestead, he requested room and board from Oliver and Corrine, who agreed. Corrine then handed him a bowl of soup, and he blessed them in return. When it was proposed that a church be built on the Homestead, Corrine confided that she and Oliver had been missing their Sunday Mass, and would enjoy Father Timothy's presence.
Later, Norris and Myriam's wedding reception was held at the Mile's End, where all of the Homestead residents, including Corrine and Oliver, gathered together to celebrate the occasion. Corrine and Oliver were also present at the funeral of Achilles Davenport, where they mourned the loss of the "old man on the hill".
Trivia
- Corrine was illiterate, as she required Father Timothy to read a letter received from her mother.
- The letter stated that the family's house, barn, and wagon in Natick, Massachusetts had burned to the ground, leaving them with no possessions and forcing them to live in poverty; Father Timothy proposed the Homestead create a collection to raise money for them.
- Ellen was to craft a cotton dress for Corrine, and stated that she would be the envy of the Homestead while taking Corrine's measurements.
