I am seeking the birth place of my Great Grand Father, William D. George, born March 1849 Missouri. According to census records his Father was born in KY and Mother in MO. I know nothing of him until his arrival in TX some time prior to 1879. I understand he was a cattle hand, worked on the Moss Ranch in Llano Co. TX, fought Indians in Llano and Gillespie Co. TX, in the battle of Pack Saddle Hill. William married Henrietta (Ettie) Solomon b 1861 Coffee Co., GA on 9/18/79 in Gillespie Co., TX. Ettie was the daughter of Godwin and Mary Jane (Roberts)Solomon. The George family had four children. Their first (my grandfather) William Lawrence George b July 21, 1880 m Mary Adaline Garrett b 1887 Albert, TX. Euphamia (DAU) b Mar 1882 Enock E. (SON) b Aug 1885 Francis C. (DAU) b Apr 1887 William was widowed prior to 1900 and by 1910 he had moved to Willow City (Gillespie Co) TX. There he owned and operated a general store until it's destruction by fire. William does not appear on 1920 census, no death cert is available at state or county levels. I have and am researching MO census but have found so many William D's that, well, you can't see the forest for the trees. I am completely open to any suggestions or references, any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the block wall to bet all walls. Any one researching these lines or believing they may be related is encouraged to reply. DWG __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
