Typical of Morton---<sigh> George Vandevender married Susanna PENINGER 12 December 1792. Henry Peninger signed the consent for his daughter Susanna to marry. This is found in Mary Harter's PC Marriage Bonds, p. 34. George died prior to 30 September 1830 (Pend. Co. Court Records 1828-1838, page 94 when he does not appear with Susanna). Susanna is presumably the female aged 50-60 who resided in the 1830 household of [her son-in-law] Andrew Fleisher. Also in this household is a female aged 60-70 who presumably is Susanna's sister Catherine, widow of Henry Fleisher and mother of Andrew. (Catherine Peninger's son married her sister Susanna's daughter.) George is the son of Barnabas Vandeventer and a brother of Jacob who married Elizabeth Bible. (Jacob is not old enough to have a son the age of this George.) George and Jacob's ancestry can be found the the "The VanDeventer Family" by Christobelle Van Deventer (1943).
