George's family was in Carroll Co, TN, before coming to Arkansas. His parents were Allen House and Mary Unknown. Prior to that they were in Edgecombe Co, NC, and colonial Virginia - lots of Jameses and Johns. I'm not sure what the W. stands for in George's name, but family researchers have suspected it was Washington. However, I have never seen a document about him that stated that firmly.
