Birth Year The approximate birth year of 1847 is based on information from census reports. On the 1850, 1860, and two 1870 census reports, George's age is given such that his birth year would have been late 1847 into early 1848. George has been found on two different 1870 census reports taken two days apart -- one with his mother and the other with his wife and children.
Only one census report (1880) gives an age which indicates a different possible birth year, that being in/around 1844.
No official documentation has been located which would give us the specific birth date for George, or even the specific birth year.
Note George Washington Sells and Vina Ellen Cravens were never married, although she bore him two children.
