John George (Virginia colonist)
John George (1603–1679) was an early Virginia colonist, landowner, soldier, county court justice and legislative representative (politician). He served at least two terms as a burgess in the Virginia House of Burgesses in the 1640s and 1650s representing Isle of Wight County, Virginia.
==Early life, family, settlement==
John George gave his age as 50 in a 1653 deposition. Therefore, he was born in England, probably in 1603.〔Grant, Marty. (''Col. John George (c1603-1679) and Jane (---) & Ann (---) of England; Charles City County and Isle of Wight County, Virginia'' ). Retrieved July 15, 2011.〕 His wife was named Jane.〔 Although some sources cite circumstantial evidence that her maiden name was Cole, no definitive evidence of her maiden name has been found.〔 John and Jane had three children, Isaac, Sarah and Rebecca.〔 John George had a second wife named Ann but there is no record of when his first wife died and when the second marriage occurred.〔 There is also no record of any children of this second marriage. Several sources state that Hester Fawdon, daughter of George Fawdon, also a member of the House of Burgesses from Isle of Wight County and a militia officer, married John George's son, Isaac.〔Grant, Marty. (Marvin A. Grant, Jr.) (''Major George Fawdon (d 1655) and Ann Smith of Isle of Wight County, Virginia'' ). Retrieved August 14, 2012.〕
On November 7, 1634, John George received a patent for 900 acres of land on Bailey Creek, also spelled Bayles Creek, in what was then Charles City County, Virginia but is now Prince George County, Virginia bordering Hopewell, Virginia.〔Virginia Historical Society. ''Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents'' in (''The Virginia magazine of history and biography, Volume 4'' ). Richmond, VA: House of the Society, 1897. . Retrieved July 15, 2011. p. 77〕〔The 900–acre grant was based on transportation of John George and 17 others, including his wife, to the colony at 50 acres for each.〕 The George family moved to Isle of Wight County, Virginia in about 1642.〔〔The Isle of Wight County Records shown in the William and Mary Quarterly show that Justinian Cooper and Ann his wife conveyed to John George the Robert Bennett tract and the Quarter tract of 200 acres, part of a patent of 2000, March 16, 1642, by deed dated April 25, 1642.〕〔''Isle of Wight County Records'' in (''William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine'' ), Vol. 7, No. 4 Apr., 1899). Retrieved July 15, 2011. p. 234〕 When the George family moved to Isle of Wight County, they lived near Cypress Swamp and Creek and Castle Creek, near the present town of Smithfield, Virginia.〔 Other records show that John George added 350 acres to his property on April 17, 1667.〔Boddie, John Bennett. ''Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County, Virginia''. Chicago: Chicago Law Print. Co., 1938. . Retrieved July 15, 2011. p. 687〕〔A second reference related to a deed on the same date for a separate, adjacent 350 acres apparently for the benefit of John George's son, Isaac, also appears in these records.〕
