There are 2 children missing from your tree - one of them being my gg grandfather who was also named George. According to the front page of the family bible there is also a son John born September 8, 1823. I do not have the exact birthdate of George but we think his birth was around 1837. The younger George married Catharine Cunningham and had 2 children. Elizabeth Ellen and John William (my great grandfather). [from Lesa Guth]
