War of 1812 Veteran

He moved to Fayette, Seneca County, NY about 1815. Sometime prior to the 1830, he moved to Royalton, Niagara County, NY. George and his wife, Elizabeth, had 13 children.
His original Niagara County home was a log cabin opposite the intersection of Bunker Hill and Akron Roads and was destroyed in the 1930's when Akron Road was improved. He later built the stone house (still standing 2012) east of this log cabin. A large stone, at eave level, stating "GD 1842" is on the west of the house. It is said that in the early days, this house served as a tavern.
