He married Suzanne Catharine_____? 1803-04
Suzanne Catharine was born April 23, 1780, she died July 23 1854.

In the 1810 Census of Brunswick Township, Berks County (Page 742) George (3) was listed as head of a family consisting of himself, his wife, one son, and two daughters. On 11th March 1811, Brunswick Township, Berks County, and West Penn Township of Northampton County just north over the Blue Mountain, became part of the new Schuylkill County, PA. George Eckroth (3) and his wife Susan Catharine thereby became the founder of the "Eckroth/Eckrode family in Schuylkill County".

Please note: (unclear records indicated he is buried at the Frieden's Church, in New Ringgold, by records found at Brunswick Twp. This indicates he was most likely buried at the Zion's Frieden and Luthern reformed Church a earlier version of Frieden's Church.

Pleas note: Old Stone Church (Old Stone)
The oldest church in the Tamaqua area was created in 1790, a union church for both Reformed and Lutheran congregations. Constructed of logs, it was replaced by the present stone structure in 1846. Prior to 1790, both congregations met in a log building located near the church

George Eckroth Jr. and Susan Catharine had at least six children:

2. Female Eckroth (4)

3. Female Eckroth (4)

4. Peter Eckroth born Jan. 20, 1811 Brunswick Township, Berks Co.PA. Married twice; 1st. Maria, 2nd Christiana
