Information from the files of:
JJJohnston, AR Historian and Publisher
Benjamin GEORGE was born about 1775, possibly in Virginia. He may be the same Benjamin GEORGE who was residing in Pendleton District, South Carolina, in 1800. He was certainly residing in Lincoln County, Tennessee, in 1810. 1820 he was living in Lincoln Co Tennessee, [See footnote at bottom of this section. eg] By 1830, Benjamin GEORGE was living in Haywood County, Tennessee. He moved to Izard County, Arkansas, with his family some time after 1840.
Benjamin's wife's name was Rachael. His known children include:
Benjamin GEORGE, Jr. died in Haywood County, Tennessee in 1839
Richard F. GEORGE
James S. GEORGE born in Tennessee in 1804
Andrew J. GEORGE born in Alabama or Tennessee in 1821
Nancy George born (est.) 1806/1816
[one more child added to Benjamin George.- [refer to Lawrence Page: Lawrence Page
] William Lawrence married Nancy W. George on 4/11/1826 in Hardeman Co., TN. - Benjamin and Rachael George of Haywood Co., TN are the parents of the Bride. James S. witness.-Probably brother of James Lawrence on 1820 tax list below. Living next to James GEORGE. - EG]
The circumstantial evidence
is, I believe, strong enough to show that:
James S., Andrew
Jackson, and Richard F. GEORGE
were the sons and Nancy George was a daughter of Benjamin GEORGE, b. abt 1775.

EMAI from: Larry Lawrence:
Was going through your evidence files and wanted to relay a find in Wilson Co., TN marriage records that relates to the Haywood Co., Court records.
Isaac B. Eslick m. Jencey George 30 Apr 1810
James George m. Sibetha Eslick 13 Mar 1810
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,
The 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.
Sincerely, Larry Lawrence
