Reuben George, born July 31, 1776, who died in Butler County OH in 1837 and was buried in the old George Burial Ground was not the son of Reuben and Mildred Rogers George, as family members once thought. (Having a different birth year wouldn't necessarily disprove him as their son, but being married to a different woman plus different birth and death years does.)

"Our" Reuben was in Greenbrier County VA (now WV) for several years, and married Archibald and Jean (HENDERSON) HANDLEY's daughter, Ann, there in 1797. (Where they lived in Greenbrier County later became Monroe Co, WV.) So the purpose of this page will be to collect the names of George's living in that area around that time in hopes of finding some proof of relationship. This is the area in which Mary Jane George Rieth (granddaughter of Cary George) did so much research.

Other George families living in Greenbrier County, WV may have been related to our Reuben George - or not. This may be later clarified by DNA tests through the George Surname Project. On the Surname GEORGE Study Test Results page, Reuben George 1776 is listed. Also see George Immigrants.
