About 1699 the original proprietors set off to him a- "home lot," bounded north-west by the land of John Webster.

He died intestate, April 12, 1721, aged 50 years, 5 months and 5 days, and his widow was grant ed letters of administration, July 4, 1721. She m. (2) Dec. 14, 1725, as his second wife, Capt. John Marsh, b. at Hartford and bap. there, March 5, 1671. On the same day, Dec. 14, 1725, her son Pelatiah Webster was married, which see.
Williamantic Probate records give the following: July 4, 1721, letters of administration were granted to Sarah Webster on the estate of George Webster, late of Lebanon, deceased.
April 22, 1724, Sarah Webster of Lebanon, widow of George Webster, was appointed guardian of Benaiah and Joseph her sons, and Jerusha and Mary Webster her daughters, sons and daughters of said George Webster. And the said Sarah and Sergeant John and Levi Webster gave bond to Wm. Clark, and at the same time Samuel Webster, eldest son of George, was appointed guardian of George, Noah, Ebenezer, Sarah, Zurviah, sons and daughters of George Webster; and said Samuel Webster and Sergeant John Webster of Lebanon, gave bond to Wm. Clark. And at the same time the Court appointed John Bliss, John Webster and Jedediah Strong to appraise the land of George Webster, and at the same date, division of the estate was ordered to the widow, Sarah; to Samuel the eldest son; to Jonathan the second son; to Pelatiah the third son; to George, Noah, Ebenezer, Benaiah, Joseph, Abigail, Sarah, Jerusha, Zurviah, Mary.
