Notes
- From Genforum Message Board:
- I have searched through that information and can find only one George DEATH/DEARTH who may fit the time frame of a 1791 birth. However, I have no birth/marriage/death dates nor spouse listed for this individual. I can however, give you the name of his parents and siblings. Parents were: James DEATH born Oct 30, 1751 Deer Creek, MD died Oct 25, 1846 PA. Ann (Nancy) ROOT ?-?. Married 1775 PA. James DEATH served in the PA militia during the war of Independence with England. He received a land patent for 82 & 3/4 acres Feb 14, 1785 on Dunlap Creek, Luzerne Twp, Fayette Co, PA. He purchased another 100 acres Aug 31, 1790. This land was adjacent to his fathers land. James was also a slave holder, however, he freed his slaves about 1791. He later sold his land in Fayette Co to his father and moved with his brother Edward to Ohio in 1797. The children of James DEATH and Ann (Nancy) ROOT and siblings of George DEATH were: John C. DEATH 1775-1850, Sarah DEATH, Hannah DEATH, James A. DEATH, Nancy DEATH, Margaret DEATH and lastly George DEATH. This may be the George your are looking for. These children were probably all born with the surname DEATH and later around 1800 some changed theirs to DEARTH.
