Biography

George Robertson was born in Scotland.

George was born about 1769.

From Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania:

George Robertson, who was born in Scotland, emigrated to this country, but it is a matter of doubt whether or not his parents ever left their native land. He settled in the state of New York, where he had two brothers, Philip and Oakley. He was a farmer in Dryden township, Tompkins county, New York, where he bought a tract of land from a land company. He was one of the men of influence in the locality, and assisted in attracting new settlers to the district. He married Mary Smith, and had children : Thomas, John, Theodore, Philip, of further mention ; Robert, Cyrus, Smith, Mott, Permelia, Corella, Phoebe, Paulina.

George Robertson passed away 4 APR 1844.^[1]
