George was in the Union Army during the Civil War 1862-1865
I know nothing about his life before he married Susannah Boyer except what is here and rumors. the rumors are that he was apprenticed to someone to learn the Tanner trade. And his father was suppose to have died in 1842 and his stepmother petitioned the orphan's court to set up guardians for the 2 or 3 children that were under the age of 14 yrs. I have been trying to piece together his life between 1829 and 1853. and 1865 - 1902 when he died.
