Elizabeth CRAWFORD), who was born abt. 1710 and died in 1788. He must have lived in Augusta Co. at some point (I don't know if he was born there) because at least one of his children was born there. Margaret Jean ANDERSON (Anderson was her married name; I don't know her maiden name), who was born abt. 1695 in Scotland and who died Feb, 1764, in Augusta Co. Margaret Jean was George's mother.
