George was the father of 10 children. The older ones were born in Orange County and in 1849 Alamance County was formed from Orange, so the younger children were born in Alamance, except his last two were born in Mecklenburg County.
He was first married to Isabelle Gillespie, by whom he had 9 children. He next married Isabelle Troy, by whom he had one son, Preston Troy Freeland. Isabelle Troy had been married previously and had a daughter, Maggie, who was born in 1851 in Alamance County.
Someone has posted that George and Isabelle Gillespie were married in Orange County. In fact, they were married in Guilford County, NC.
