George was of German extraction in politics he was strictly a "Whig" and in religion he was a Presbyterian. His occupation was "Stone Cutter" and he helped build the old stone jail in Mercer and also the tone house where the Robinson family resided in 1888.
His descendant's report that he was not in the census of 1850 with the rest of his family but died during 1849. Many other researchers suggest he died in 1857.
He married Catherine Crill the daughter of John Crill and Elizabeth Kuhn (Coon) about 1824 in Mercer Co., PA. She was the 3rd of 10 children and the second one named Catherine, the first Catherine died shortly after birth.
She and George had ten children named Elizabeth, Lewis, George W., David, Nancy, Sarah Jane, Adam B. (A.B.") John Cyrus and Christena. "A.B." was also noted in the Mercer County history.
Here is the story of her family environement growing up threw the eyes of her mother Elizabeth Kuhn (Coon)
Elizabeth Kuhn was born in Franklin County, Pa., at the Homestead far of the Kuhn family Oct. 18, 1783. She was married to John Crill who also was born in Franklin County, where they lived until the year 1806. Early that year Mr. Crill went to Findley Township, Mercer County, Pa., where he bought land, receiving a deed for 220 acres, paying $880.00, deed dated Dec. 26, 1807 as recorded in Deed Book of Mercer County.
They moved by team and stopped at the the old Herrington Hotel in Mercer long enough for Mrs. Crill to bake bread. They slept the first night on their farm in the wagon bed and the next day erected a log cabin. Here they lived the remainder of their lives and reared the family of ten children.
From 'History of a Pioneer Township Family' we find that John Crill was, besides an excellent farmer, a most useful citizen as follows: Constable for 1 year, Appraiser 3 years, Overseer Appraiser 1 year and Supervisor 4 years. John Crill died Nov. 9, 1849 and his wife died May 30, 1842.
It was at the home of Mrs. Crill that her nephews, John and Samuel Kuhn and their families and a niece Fanny Kuhn stopped to make bread on their way to Ohio in wagons in 1833. Mr. Crill advised the brothers to go to Cleveland to purchase land as that city would sometime become one of the great commercial centers of the Country and land would rise in valuation very fast. They acted on this advice but as the land was more suited to dairy farming, they turned south to Richland County, where they settled.
Mr. and Mrs. Crill were members of the United Presbyterian Church in their community and are buried on the farm where they lived.
