    1. [GEORGE-L] Robert and Alexander GEORGE - Late 1700s
    2. Looking for any information on two brothers, Robert and Alexander, who settled in Washington County, PA in the late 1700s. Also interested in any information about their parents, their wives, and their children. Robert was born about 1744 in Ireland. He came to America sometime before the Revolution and fought in that was as member of John Reed's Company of the Lancaster County PA militia. He was later promoted to Captain. He married Christiana PLANCE, a native of Germany, and, sometime before 1790, moved to Washington County PA. They had fourteen children -- Thomas (who became a judge in Jefferson County, OH), Robert (who moved to Carroll County, OH), David, Alexander (who reportedly moved to Illinois), John, Margaret (who married John SLATER), Elizabeth (who married James McMASTERS and moved to Carroll County, OH), Hannah (who married James ROBINSON), Anna (who married Mitchel RAMSEY), Jane (who married Thomas ROBB), Jacob, and three unknown children. Robert died 15 Aug 1819 in Fallowfield Township, Washington County, PA. His wife, Christiana, lived on to the ripe old age of 91, dying on 28 Jun 1851. I know less about Alexander. He was also a member of John Reed's Company and later moved to Washington County, PA. He was married at least twice, once to a ____ HOSACK and then to Elizabeth RINGLAND. He had a number of children -- sons John, Thomas, and Robert, and daughters Ann CRABB, Mary HUNTER, and Sarah STORY are mentioned in his will. This document also refers to his wife Elizabeth's sons Michael, Henry, and William GEORGE. Alexander died 21 Jun 1813 in Washington County, OH. Any information will be appreciated.
