Lucinda's parents were Thomas McGuire and Ann Talitha (Lee) McGuire.
Lucinda married David Simeon George about 1845. Thomas's parents were William McGuire and Mary Ann (Shirley) McGuier. William was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. Mary Ann accompained him and fought along side him. Many other wives also accompanied their husbands and fought with them and helped them. Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) state that Mary Ann molded bullets at the battle of Saratoga in New York.
William and Mary Ann, and their son Michael (called Bennie), were taken prisoner by the British soldiers May 12 th., 1780 at Charleston, Virginia and were taken to Montreal, Quebec in Canada. William was 32 years old, Mary Ann was 18 and Michael was 2. They were held there for two years by the British. August 1, 1781 while still in prison, another son was born to them and they named him Thomas McGuire. (The lineage to me).
On September 16, 1782, William and Mary Ann, and their two sons Michael "Bennie" and Thomas, were placed on a list to be released and returned home. Shortly afterwards they were released, or escaped, the records are not too clear. William, Mary Ann and their two sons were making their way back to Virginia on foot, enduring the brutal Canadian winter. The records state that they wandered through deep snow and faced many hardships. When they were somewhere around the Lake Champlain area they stopped at a graveyard to spend the night. With their scanty blankets they tried to prevent the two children from freezing by lying down between two graves with the children between them. Mary Ann put Thomas, the baby, inside her clothing and buttoned her coat over him. Bennie lay between his parents, but during the night he froze to death. The grieving parents scratched out a shallow grave in the frozen Canadian ground, and with broken hearts they left their little boy there.
After the war William was awarded 200 arces as part payment for his war efforts. (This was common at that time as many other men received land also). They lived in Virginia for a time and then moved to Kentucky. Later they moved to Bedford County, Tennessee.
David and Lucinda George, my great, great grandparents, came from Tennessee to Charleston Texas. They had eight children. The first six were born in Tennessee, and the last two in Charleston, Texas. They are as follows (but I'm not sure if they are in the right order):
1. Sarah Ann George [my great grandmother]. She married John William Wilson.
2. Thomas R. George, married (1st) Amanda Lynch, (2nd) Eliza A. Shepherd.
3. Mary Catherine George, married Matt Schultz.
4. Sue George, married Ben Chapman.
5. Cas Andrew Jackson George, married Eliza Ann Shepherd.
6. Henry J. George, married Lydia Ann.
7. David Simeon Richard George Jr., married Lydia Presley (Shepherd).
8. Robert E. Lee George, married Sally E. Winfrey.
