George Washington Crone was born on January 23, 1840,in Calhoun, Gordon County, Georgia. His parents were James Albert Crone and Nancy Lydia Watts Crone.

George grew up to marry Hulda Cannon who was the daughter of John Milton Cannon and Ellender Melinda Rich Cannon. In late 1869, George, his wife, and their first child Rosanna joined a wagon train headed to Texas to make a new life for themselves. On the wagon train was Hulda's widowed mother and all of her siblings. Also probably on the wagon train were George's parents and most of his siblings. George's mother Nancy died in Alabama on the way west. His father and at least one of his brothers decided to settle in Arkansas. George and Hulda and baby Roxanne made the decision to continue the journey with one of his brothers and her mother and siblings on to Texas.

At some time before 1880, Hulda and George settled in Smith County, Texas, where they lived and farmed the rest of their lives.

Hulda and George had at least eight children--Roxanna, Albert G., Malinda Frances, James Lafayette, Mary Ann, Theodocia, John Andrew, and Calvin George.

George died at the age of 48 on April 15,1888, in Mineola, Wood County, Texas, per his death certificate and was buried in Providence Cemetery, Smith County, Texas. His wife Hulda died 63 years later at the age of 103 of pneumonia in the hospital in Grand Saline, Van Zandt Conty, Texas, on July 12, 1951. She was buried in Providence Cemetery in Smith County next to George.
