George Frederick Rester Jr. son of George Sr. and wife Maria Margaretha Mengersdorff was born 16 May, 1765 SC. He died 30 December, 1830 in Red Creek, Perry County, MS. George died by drowning in a rain swollen creek while returning home from selling sweet potatoes and corn.
George Jr. married Louisa Denmark born 17 October, 1768 Bulloch Co. GA. She died 5 August, 1851 MS. She was the daughter of William B. Denmark. Taken from the family Bible.
On November 22, 1807 in Bulloch Co. Frederick Rester executed a Power of Attorney to his son, Gideon Rester, to collect debts due him and to sell and deed any of his property. This action was in preparation to leave Georgia for Mississippi.
On Tuesday 13 October, 1807 Governor John Milledge of Georgia issued a passport to Frederick Rester to travel through the Creek Indian Nation. The three oldest children of this family were already married and had earlier preceded their parents west.
Frederick is listed on the 1820 Census for Hancock Co. MS.
