George and his wife Barbra were both born in Bavaria, Germany. Federal census records note that they emigrated in 1858, but their children were all born in America, some before that year. They probably emigrated before 1853.
The couple settled in Marion, Beaver Co., PA. to farm. They had five children: John P., Elizabeth, Jacob, Eliza, and George. Sadly, George died in 1869. Barbra outlived him by nearly four decades.
