Born by about 1614 ("deposed 20 (11) 1654" aged about 40; the age given in his petition of about 1688 is probably exaggerated by about a decade).
A mason who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1633. First settled in Charlestown; then moved to Malden, then Casco by 1662, & finally back to Malden. Died in Malden after 1692.
Married by 1635 Elizabeth, daughter of widow Prudence Wilkinson; she was admitted to Charlestown church 19 January 1639/40; apparently died after 1692.

Almost all records and histories for George state that he was born in 1601 in England.
There is one history that gives an exact birth date of 28 February 1601, but
when I bring the link up I cannot find exactly where it says that. If you would like to look further into that link, it is at http://interactive.ancestry.com/61

But at the very least, it appears that he was born in 1601.
According to the following paragraph, it appears that the town in which they
resided took up a fund to provide for the funeral expenses of George Felt and
his wife Elizabeth, as their family was not there to provide. George and
Elizabeth appear to be held in high honor within the town.

As written in The Felt Genealogy: A Record of the Descendents of George Felt of Casco Bay, listed in North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000 for George Felt,
First Generation, page 19:
The aged couple were now evidently growing feebler, and the town voted, March 14, 1692, with a prudent provision for rebate in case its charity should prove overgenerous “that the towne doealow goodman nicols aleuen pound in or of money for this present yeare ensuingfor the maintanance of his father and mother felt, if ether of them dy with inthe year, after funiral charges, what is left to return to the selectman orthere order.” The record ends here. The sturdy pioneer whose advent at North Yarmouth was reckoned as its “birth-day,”and whose courageous manhood helped to establish it firmly upon the foundation of its
prosperity it enjoys to-day; wronged in his old age by those who should have
aided him instead; driven out to seek a home of charity; assure that his “funiral expenses” were provided for, died in1693 aged 92 years, and his wife “much advance in years” followed him in 1694.
