George worked as "a jurist in Romney and he served several terms in the Assembly at Richmond."2

George and Hanna had 5 daughters and 3 sons. Only the names of 6 children are known. These children are John, William, Susan Alice, Elizabeth, Philena and Sarah.2
The 1790 census records for Virginia have been lost. Other sources for residence information will need to be found.
