The John Corbley Farm, also known as Slave Gallant, is an historic American home that is located in Greene Township in Greene County, Pennsylvania.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Built circa 1796 as a two-story, five-bay, brick dwelling that sits on a stone foundation, this historic structure has a gable roof. Its builder, the Rev. John Corbly (1733–1803), was a founder of the local Baptist church and was also associated with the Whiskey Rebellion. In 1782, his family was killed during the Corbly Family massacre.[2] The farm name of 'Slave Gallant' derived from Slieve Gallion in Ireland, which was nearby where John Corbley was born and raised before emigrating to Pennsylvania.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
