George Vandever born 28 Dec 1764 Loudoun County, Virginia. He was a son of George Vandiveer and his wife Anne Harbin. He died 6 June 1833 Pickens District South Carolina.

He was a soldier of the Revolutionary War in Virginia. He was an early minister of the Baptist faith in South Carolina and Georgia.

It is probable that he is buried in his son Adam Poole Vandiver's family grave yard along the river below Tallulah Falls which was flooded when Georgia Power built a dam in 1910. It has been reported by family member(s) that the only grave older than twenty years that was moved was Adam Poole Vandiver’s. The other graves remain under water.

George Vandever was a Revolutionary War soldier in Virginia. Georgia received a pension and in Edward Vandiver's pension application file he had reported his brother's wife could give a statement concerning his service. The file has a statement by Mary Vandiver, wife of the Rev George Vandiver, and it was recorded by Stephen Bates JP.

There are researchers who have both Mary Ann Poole and Mary Ann Box as the wife of George Vandever. George Vandiver's parents are given as George Vandiver and Ann Annie Harbin by some researchers; Hollingsworth Vandiver and Mary Elizabeth Jones by others.

George Vandiver and Mary Elizabeth Box were married in 1785. Their children are believed to be: Hollingsworth Vandiver 1786 – 1820, John Vandiver 1799 – 1833, Sarah Vandiver 1801 – , James Vandiver 1802 – , Mary Vandiver 1805 – , Joseph Vandiver 1806 – 1837, Matilda Vandiver 1806 – , Elizabeth Vandiver 1815 – ,William Vandiver 1815 – ,and David C Vandiver 1823 – .

George Vandever and Mary Ann Poole were married and had the following known children: Aaron Vandiver, Adam Poole Vandiver, and Enoch Vandiver. There were reports of four daughters but their names could not be ascertained. Adam Poole Vandiver has an interesting history.

There are many variations of the spelling for this surname to include: VanDerDeer, Vandever, VanDiver and many others.

John Vandiver is one of my Vandiver lines that traces into Franklin, and now Colbert County, Alabama. The usual way of spelling the surname in that area is Vandiver.

A photo request for George Vandever's marker got the following reply: This burial is on private property or is otherwise inaccessible

They also reported, specifically:
Finding this cemetery will be a major accomplishment. It appears that it is on Reverend Pitt's former land in Shirley Grove.

A Barton researcher of the Vandiver family line gives this information, some included already and some that is contrary to others' research results: The Rev. George Vandiver b 28 Dec 1764 Loudoun Co Va, died 6 June 1833 Pickens District South Carolina, according to his Revolutionary War pension records. His last Church was Holly Springs Baptist Church, located on Hwy 76, Oconee County, South Carolina; incidentally located less than 10 miles from son Adam Poole Vandiver's homeplace along the Tugaloo River in
Georgia. His widow Mary Ann Poole Vandiver joined Adam in Georgia where she died in 1838. So he probably was buried in Georgia but he died in South Carolina - his was one of the graves not moved by Georgia Power when they built the dam in 1910.
