I am seeking the birth place of my Great Grand
Father, William D. George, born March 1849 Missouri.
According to census records his Father was born in KY
and Mother in MO.
I know nothing of him until his arrival in TX some
time prior to 1879. I understand he was a cattle hand,
worked on the Moss Ranch in Llano Co. TX, fought
Indians in Llano and Gillespie Co. TX, in the battle
of Pack Saddle Hill.
William married Henrietta (Ettie) Solomon b 1861
Coffee Co., GA on 9/18/79 in Gillespie Co., TX. Ettie
was the daughter of Godwin and Mary Jane
(Roberts)Solomon.
The George family had four children. Their first
(my grandfather) William Lawrence George b July 21,
1880 m Mary Adaline Garrett b 1887 Albert, TX.
Euphamia (DAU) b Mar 1882
Enock E. (SON) b Aug 1885
Francis C. (DAU) b Apr 1887
William was widowed prior to 1900 and by 1910 he
had moved to Willow City (Gillespie Co) TX. There he
owned and operated a general store until it's
destruction by fire. William does not appear on 1920
census, no death cert is available at state or county
levels. I have and am researching MO census but have
found so many William D's that, well, you can't see
the forest for the trees.
I am completely open to any suggestions or
references, any help would be greatly appreciated
as this is the block wall to bet all walls.
Any one researching these lines or believing they
may be related is encouraged to reply. DWG
