Corbin's ancestors lived in [[Virginia]] and then [[Mississippi]] before they relocated in the 1920s to Lampasas County, Texas. They then moved to Lamesa (pronounced LUH MEESA), where Corbin was reared and lived the first part of his life. In the state Senate, Corbin represented a swath of twenty-four West Texas counties. He was defeated in the 1956 primary by theater owner and future [[Governor]] [[Preston Smith]] of Lubbock. Barry Corbin said that his father's defeat for a third term in the Senate soured him on elected office. Barry Corbin’s website says that Kilmer Corbin was at twenty-six the youngest state senator in 1949. However, this is disputed because Kilmer Corbin was born in 1919 and hence turned thirty in 1949.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barrycorbin.com/biography_1.htm|title=Barry Corbin biography|publisher=barrycorbin.com|accessdate=May 11, 2020}}</ref>
