Biography

Birth

Marriage

George married Sarah Harter on 24 Apr 1803 at Bourbon, Kentucky.^[1][2]

Research Notes

The 1802 marriage record is a log of marriages and the date is suspect. The date is clear on the actual document signed by George Dyson.

Confidence is high George is the father of [Dyson-1136|Rachel Dyson] based on a comparison of his signatures on his own marriage bond and that of Rachel's.

1820 census appears to have the females shifted one column to the right. It should be 4 females under 10, 2 females 10-16, 1 female 26-45.

1830 census appears to indicate a second family living in the household. This probably consisted of a 20-30 couple with 2-3 under 10 children.

Neither George or wife Sarah has been found in the 1840 or 1850 census.
