George is shown on the 1860, Travis County, Texas, census with his mother and father and his little one year old sister, Mary A. He is listed as being four years old and blind. They are living in Webberville, Travis County, Texas. The 1870, Williamson County, Texas, census shows the family living in Florence, Williamson County, Texas. The family now consists of mother, father, George [Listed as G.G., and who cannot read or write and blind], Mary, and a brother John M, age eight and little sister, Afton, age four. George's father was elected Sheriff of Williamson County in 1871 and the family moved to Georgetown. The 1880, Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas, census shows George living with the family and as being 23 years old and labeled as being "idiotic". George is also found in the 1880 U.S. Federal Census - Schedules of Defective, Dependent, and Delinquent Classes and is listed under IDIOTS. When George's parents passed away, his oldest sister, now Mrs. Mary A. Pipkin, was granted guardianship. The 1920, Williamson County, Texas, census shows him living with his two widowed sisters, Mrs. Afton O. Clark and Mrs. M. A. Pipkin in Granger, Williamson County, Texas. George died on March 21, 1924. His sister, Mary, died about seven years later and she was buried in the Granger City Cemetery. The cemetery association has record of her being buried there, but she does not have a marker. It is my belief that George is buried there also, and for some unknown reason, does not have a marker either.
