Biography
George may have been married first to an Elizabeth ? by the middle of 1872. His daughter was born in Feb 1873,--a few years before he married Minerva Moore. Also, his daughter's death certificate indicated her mother's name was Elizabeth.
George's wife Minerva had also been married before as evidenced by a step-daughter Carrie Moore in his h/h in 1880. George and Minerva apparently had no progeny from their marriage. He only lived to the age of 42. After he died, Minerva married James Jarrett.
