The following chart and information comes from "The George Family 50th Reunion" Booklet (1967).
Col. John GEORGE came to VA from Middlesex, England and was granted land in Prince George Co., VA in 1635. He was a member of the House of Burgesses from the Isle of Wight County, VA in 1647 and 1652.

Reuben George, husband of Mildred Rogers George, "was born in Culpepper County, Va. and died in Pendleton County, now a part of West Va. He served in the American Revolution as a private in Capt. John Gillason's Co. of Col. Edward Steven's 10th Va. Regiment, serving in the battles of Germantown and White Marsh; and was a Sgt. in the 10th Continental Line." (page 3)

The following information comes from the "George Family Record", Thomas R. George, 1978. It agrees with Mary Jane George Rieth's research conclusion - that our Reuben George Sr. is not the son of Reuben and Mildred Rogers George, as our family researchers had previously thought.

Children of John (Aug 18 1704- ca Apr 1784 VA) and Mary (JORDAN) George (first wife)

John George Jr. b. ca 1725 d. ca 1791 m. Frances -- James George b. ca 1727 d. 1799 m. Elizabeth (NODEN?) Mary George b. ca 1729 d. ca 1790 m. Cornelius? MCHANEY Ann George b. 1730 d. m. Robert WOOLFORK Elizabeth George b. ca 1732 d. m. James BABER Reuben George b. ca 1734 d. 1799 m. Mildred ROGERS (daughter) George b. ca 1736 d. m. James YARBROUGH Sarah George b. ca. 1739 d. m. James ISBELL Frances (?) George b. ca. 1741 d. m. Benjamin GRAVES

Children John (Aug 18 1704- ca Apr 1784 VA) and Ursula Dudley George (2nd wife)

John Dudley George b. ca. 1758 d. 1781 m. Lucy DICKENSON Catherine George b. ca 1760 d. m. William BROWN Patsy George b. ca 1762 d. m. John BROWN

Children of Reuben (1734-1799) and Mildred (ROGERS) George

Phillip George b. ca. 1757 d. 1778 no children William "Billy" George b. Oct 18 1760 children: Wm, Edmund, Reuben, John, James Mary "Mollie" George b. Apr 8 1763 Reuben George Jr. b. Mar 17 1766 m. Elizabeth "Betsy" SHARP children: Alexander, Reuben (died in VA?), Polly Byrd George b. May 17 1768 children: Sally, Betsey, John, Rebecca Lucy George b. Mar 1 1771 Ann George b. Feb 10 1774 John George b. Jan 15 1778

... so Reuben & Mildred George's son Reuben is not the Reuben George, born July 31 1776, who married Ann Handley in Greenbrier Co WV in 1797.

Perhaps a study of GEORGEs in Greenbrier County WV will eventually find "our" Reuben's relatives.
