The George's of Lowhill township, this county, and those of Greenwich township, Berks county were relatives.

Yost George and George George were heads of families and property owners in Lowhill town- ship in 1762. They paid a tax in that year of 6 and 5 pounds respectively. John George was assessed a single man in that year and doubtless was the son of one of the above named. In 1781, the tax list records Jost, George, John, Simon

and Lawrence George, as residents of Lowhill. The federal census of 1790 records the following heads of families in Lowhill: Elizabeth George (2 sons, 8 females) ; Henry George (3 males, 2 females) ; Lawrence George (3 males, 4 fe- males) ; George George (3 males over 16 years, and 4 females) ; George George, Jr., (had a wife and one daughter) ; Simon George (had 2 sons over 16 and 2 under 16 years of age and 4 re- males).

John George lived upon a farm near Lyon Valley in Weisenberg township. His home stead is now owned by Daniel Derr. He was a member of the Reformed congregation of the Lowhill church and there he is also buried. His wife, Polly Werley, was a daughter of Nicholas Werley. Their children follow: William, John, Penrose, Benneville, Caroline Fianna (m. Jere- miah Klotz), Amanda (m. Levi Smith, of War- ren, Pa.), and Aaron (who lived at Plymouth, Pa.).
