Benjamin GEORGE was one of the earliest settlers of Lincoln County, Tennessee. He was noted in records of land transactions as early as 1811, two years after the establishment of the county. By 1820, 11 GEORGE families were noted in the U.S. census for Lincoln County.
There were about 18 GEORGE families listed in the 1850 census, but many of these families had immigrated to Lincoln County during the 1830s and some of the original families had apparently moved out. Based on the page numbers of the 1820 census and later census enumerations, we can take a reasonable guess at what GEORGE families were related during each period.
This information provides a good starting point for further research.

Isaac B. Eslick is next door to Richard George in Lincoln Co., TN
William George is on the other side of Richard George in Lincoln., Co., TN
William George m. Catlincey Hunt 19 Jul 1813
John George, Benj. George and Richard George are on Wilson Co., TN Tax rolls in 1806.
I am concluding from these facts that William and Jencey are Richard's Children.
At this time, I am also putting William of SC 1820,
John of Lincoln, TN 1820,
James of Lincoln, TN 1820,
Thomas of Lincoln, TN 1820,
Margaret George (m. John Bryce, location unknown)
and Francis as John George's children whose names are identified in his will.
This leaves a strong connection between John George of SC, Benjamin George of TN, and Richard George of TN.
Jesse, Solomon, & Presley George are in Wilson Co., in 1804.
Jesse and Presley are in Lincoln Co., 1820,
Solomon is in Franklin Co., TN in 1820.
Relationship as yet unknown.
