Judah Hickey was pregnant with George when she, Cornelius and their family crossed the mountains into Tennessee to begin a new life. They settled in Knox County near Third Creek. When he was grown, George moved to about 300 acres at what is now Creekhead Drive in Knox County. The house stood until the 1980s when his grandson George, the last inhabitant, died.
