General Notes: Husband - Adam George

---

He emigrated from Germany, first settled in York County, Pennsylvania, and about 1769 came to what is now Westmoreland County and located at a place known in frontier times as George's station. He served against the Indians, fought in the Revolutionary war under the immediate command of Washington and in 1774 was one of the petitioners from Westmoreland County to Gov. Penn for protection against the Indians. He erected George's station to protect himself and neighbors from Indian raids and when Hannastown was burned over one hundred and fifty settlers were gathered at his stockade block-house. The brave old Indian fighter and patriotic Revolutionary hero died at an advanced age and sleeps in the beautiful burial place on the farm which he loved so well and on which so much of his life was passed.
