  • Notes 

    • Mary Helen Haines notes:

      One source says that this William George Jr. was born in Tazewell Co. VA.

      Tennessee:
      There is a patent, Grant #90 on July 30, 1808 issued to William George for 227 acres south of the French Broad and Holston, above the mouth of the Nolachucky, corner to Samuel Jack and George Carter. Hard to know if this is Sr. or Jr.

      Missouri:

      Tax List for Cooper Co. MO. 1819 - 22. George: Reuben, Wm. and Lewis together, Jessee, William.

      Land Records:
      1823: Nov. 15, Reuben George assignee of William George #70, 80 acres: Sect. 24, 48N, 17W (Petite Saline area near Boonville)
      1825: June 1, Reuben George, assignee of William George #146, 80 acres: Sect. 24, 48 N, 17 W (Boonville area)

      Hard to know if this is William George Jr., but assume it is.

      There is a William George marrying Lucy McFarland on June 14, 1806 in Jefferson Co., TN according to the transcription in the book Marriages of Jefferson County Tennessee, p. 15. Is this the same two people? She would only be 13 years old. Something not correct here.

      Some have her birthdate as May 2, 1793. I believe that the Dec. 13, 1788 makes much more sense. Otherwise she would only be 12 years old when getting married.

      In the Cooper Co. web-site, in what is called the McFarland and Martin Plot, north of Clarksburg, Township 46-N, Range 16-W, sect. 24, is a stone for Sally George. Information says she was born Dec. 13, 1788, died May 23, 1856. Married Wm. George on June 17, 1805. Do not know where this info. came from.
