Son of Leonard Corliss and Jane Tubbs (transcript of death record). It was also suggested his mother was Lurany Tubbs (spelled Luneney Tubbs on some transcripts of Vermont marriage records). The family name is also spelled "Corlis" in some records and newspaper stories.

Frederick served with Company H, 13th Vermont Regiment during the Civil War. He enlisted on September 18, 1862, and mustered in as a Corporal October 10th. Promoted to Sergeant June 4, 1863, he then mustered out on July 21, 1863.

St. Johnsbury Caledonian (St. Johnsbury, Vermont) October 18, 1872: "Strong talk is being made of starting a new branch of business in this place [Cabot, Vermont] - that of manufacturing scythe stones. A ledge is being opened on the farm of Mr. Frederick Corlis, about one mile from the village, which certainly produces a most excellent quality of whetstones, and by good judges is said to produce the best grit in the country."

Death notice August 30, 1911 St. Johnsbury Republican refers to Fred as "an old-time resident of Cabot".
