[Children] [Researcher List] [Register Report] [A Note about sources] [How to contact me] [Home]

The author (Marty Grant) is a 9th Great Grandson of Isaac George and Hester Fawdon.

Note: The George family is fully documented in the author's book "George Family History" now available. Click link for details. On the current web pages I am only presenting the most interesting documentation. There is a great deal more available that is not included here. Most of the available source documentation is in the book mentioned above. There are also many acknowledgments to be made. The book contains them all. Some are listed here.

Isaac George was born 20 Feb 1635/36 [per Thomas Blakey Family Bible.] He was probably born in Charles City County, Virginia.

He is a proven child of Col. John George of Charles City Co, VA and Isle of Wight Co, VA, and was named in his father's Will of 1678.

Unlike his father John, Isaac George left us precious few records. We know from deeds that his wife was named Hester, and she is generally thought to be the daughter of Major George Fawdon of Isle of Wight Co, VA, but that isn't completely proven.

On 10 Apr 1654 Major George Fawdon gave 1000 acres of land to Isaac George, son of "Major John George." The land adjoined John George's land "on the upper side," and was a deed of gift, and if Isaac failed to reach the age of 21, it would revert to Fawdon. Based on Isaac's birth date, he was only 18 years old at this point. [Isle of Wight Co, VA Book A, John Bennett Boddie, Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight, p. 528.]

The question arises: Why did George Fawdon give a deed of gift to Isaac George? The most logical answer is that Isaac was his son-in-law, but there could be other reasons, though that is the most likely one.

On 17 Apr 1667 Lt. Colonel John George received a Grant for 360 acres of land on Cypress Swamp in Isle of Wight Co, VA, bordering land "formerly of Francis Place, but now Isaac George." Where did Isaac George get this land? Is it the land given to him by George Fawdon? That seems likely.

On 2 Aug 1678 Isaac's father John George made his Will naming various heirs including son "Isaack." He also named a grandson John George who is generally thought to be Isaac's son, though the Will does not say that.

On 8 Feb 1685 Isaac George of Upper Parish of Isle of Wight and Hester, his wife sold land to Lt. Colonel James Powell, a plantation where Isaac & Hester formerly lived, given him in Will of his father John George on Carrol Creek [this should probably say Castle Creek] in Upper Parish. Witness: Samuel Luck, Milehesador Duck, Mary Brasher. Robert Randall and Ann his wife assigns any claims to William Smith, administrator.* 9 Apr 1696. Witnesses: Richard Stone Joseph Caron. [Isle of Wight Deed Book 1 from Boddie, Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight. p. 626.]

* Robert Randall was married to Ann, the widow of Col. James Powell to whom the original deed was made. William Smith was probably the Administrator of Isaac George's estate. He was a brother-in-law of George Fawdon.

The above deed is the last record I've found for Isaac and Hester George. They may have died shortly after it was made or moved away somewhere. Some earlier researchers state (without documentation) that Isaac died in Middlesex County ca 1689. His son Robert George was in Middlesex by 1687, so Isaac and Hester may have moved there, but I've seen no proof so far.

Children of Isaac George and Hester Fawdon: Unfortunately there is no Will or Estate records available for Isaac and Hester, so no complete list of their children has been found. One child (Robert) is proven by a Bible record, and another child (John) is strongly suggested in the Will of Col. John George. There could be other children unidentified. There were a few unconnected Georges in the area who could be Isaac's sons. David George being the most notable. I have no evidence linking him to Isaac, but he was associated with Isaac's son Robert in Middlesex County. He might be a little too old to be Isaac's son, but I thought I would mention the possibility.

Robert George (1666-1734)

John George (c1675-1711)

Robert George (1666-1734) Robert George was born 20 Feb 1665/66 in Isle of Wight Co, VA. He moved to Middlesex County by 1687 for on 6 Jul 1687 he married there to Sarah, widow of Thomas Elliott. Robert remained in Middlesex until his death on 21 Jan 1733/34. Sarah died on 14 Apr 1734. See their own page for additional information.

John George (c1675-1711) John George was born ca 1674-78 in Isle of Wight County. He is a proven grandson of Col. John George, but not a proven child of Isaac George, though it seems likely he is Isaac's son.

John remained in Isle of Wight a few years though he appears in the records of Surry and Elizabeth City County as well. He may have married twice, his first wife is unknown, but his second was Frances Servant, whom he married on 16 Jun 1696 in Elizabeth City County. She was a daughter of Bertrond Servant of Elizabeth City County.

John George died ca 1711 in Isle of Wight County. See his own page for additional information.
