George STEORTS / STORTS / STOTS etc was born near Hagerstown in 1769  according to 1850 census records. He died in 1851.  His father was said to  have fought "under Washington.  The family came from Germany, at one time  lived near Gettysburg." I have not been able to find the father or any other  family members. I have wondered if the father died in the Revolutionary  War.  I have no documentation on George until 1817 in WV. By that time he  could have had a first family before marrying at the age of 58 in 1827. This  strange German name has been found spelled in many different ways. We have a DNA Project under STORTS. Thanks in advance for checking for  me.
