This is merely a suggestion as I have not researched this family. IF Daniel died without children as heirs, then his brothers and sisters would be his heirs and listed as such in a deed. Just a thought and possibility for resolving the conflict. OR, it is very likely that there was a George in both generations. The 1810 census may help with some approximate ages.
