Research Notes

Note by Chet Snow, Feb 3, 2014: Alternate birth years are: 1570, 1572, 1585, 1586. May 1578 (the only date found with a month) seems the best fit for a first marriage in 1599 to Eliz. Leckie; they had 4 sons between 1600 and 1625 and 1 dgr who died at birth. George also has alternate death dates of 1625, 1629, 1660 and about 1700. 1660 seems the most logical as George's last child was born in 1660 by his 2nd wife: Eliz. UNKNOWN.
