| Notes |
George was raised by his father and stepmother, because his mother had died when he was two and a half years old. At the age of eighteen he took up the trade of a stonemason, which he followed for about six years. In 1837, he came to America and after a thirteen-week trip; he landed in the city of Baltimore. He soon found employment with the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, where he worked for two years. Later he went to Allegheny County, Maryland, where he worked in a sawmill. He, also, worked in the furnaces at Lonaconing.
While a resident of Maryland, he married Margaret Pope, who was also a native of Germany. About 1848-49, they came to Jo Daviess County and after a short residency in Galena, they settled on 120 acres on section 3 of the Hanover Township. They paid $1.25 an acre and by hard work made improvements that made the farm, one of the best in the township. At the time of his death, he owned 200 acres. Margaret had a hard life as she bore him twelve children. They were Phillip, John, Nicholas, Lewis, George, Margaret, James, Elizabeth, William, Theresa, Peter, and Agnes. She died in 1861, shortly after the birth of the youngest daughter, Agnes or Aggie. Although there are some reports that she died in 1864. George contracted a second marriage with Mary Thompson. While married to George, she helped with raising of two of George's grand children, until her death in 1885. They were the son and daughter of Nicholas. In the census of September 8, 1860, he was listed as being 47 years old and his wife was 42. The value of their property was $1500 and the personal estate $700. George and Margaret are buried in the Edgerton cemetery in Hanover, Illinois.
