Description

Col. John George was born ca 1603 in England. As a young man he and his wife Jane came to Virginia and lived in Charles City County. After a few years they moved to Isle of Wight County. After Jane's death, John married Ann. John George died in 1679 leaving one son (Isaac) and two daughters (Sarah and Rebecca). John's descendants soon moved to other parts of Virginia and eventually to other states. The Col. John George family is probably the second largest George family in Virginia, with Nicholas George's family being the largest (of Lancaster County). Recent DNA testing has proven that Nicholas and John were not brothers as once believed.

Volume One contains a fully documented and fully indexed family history following each branch of the family as far as possible. Volume Two contains transcripts and scans of original documents such as deeds, letters, bible records, etc. It is also fully indexed.

If ordering online be sure to order both volumes as they are two separate items that must be added to your shopping cart. (The prices listed above in red are for both volumes.) Of course you don't have to purchase both volumes, that is up to you.

I am not able to accept Purchase Orders at this time. I don't keep copies in stock, so if you order without paying first, I have to order for you and pay for it out of pocket to get your book and that is usually a hardship for me.

Allow 3-4 weeks for delivery.
