    Notes 
    • His marriage to Amelia Wood was bonded by William Duke, probably his uncle.

      George, along with the families of Anthony Ricketts, Sr.; John D; Elisha; and the Finnells went to Coshocton, Ohio in 1830/31 from Virginia. The party numbered about 30 in all. The trip took about 19 days, and settled west of Roscoe (Caldersburg) in Jackson Township, Coshocton County.
      1843: All siblings, with the exception of Delilah joined in a deed selling the Duke land, Rappahanoock Co., Deed Book E, p 317.
