Person:George Shores (6)

George SHORES' inclusion in the family of Levin SHORES is an informed "guess" by JSG, based the absence of any evidence linking George to any other SHORES line, and the probability that he was named after his maternal grandfather, George SOMERS. The given name George is not found in the SHORES family prior to his generation, although it is relatively common thereafter.

3. ↑ Birth year estimated from known date of marriage, using contemporary community average of age 23 for males at time of first marriage. Given place in family birth order, it is not unreasonable to conjecture that George SHORES was named for his maternal grandfather, George SOMERS. However, no direct evidence has yet been discovered which would subtantiate that Levin SHORES and Mary SOMERS were the parents of George SHORES.
