Silas and Mary George lived in North Carolina before Tennessee was a state and the land where they resided was later located in Jefferson and Blount Counties East Tennessee. Silas died in the 1830's and Mary appears in the Bradley County Tennessee1840 census (represented by age and sex) and by name in the Bradley County 1850 census. She is living with William T. and Jane George Wood. There are records of a John George, son of Silas George. I have no single document that states that Martha Ann George Logan is the daughter of Silas George, but have a heap of substantiating material. From my family's history, I know that Martha Ann George Logan had two sisters: Mary (Polly) George who married Daniel Welch and Rebecca George who married a man named Reed.

#1. William George was born May 15, 1786, in North Carolina. He was of Welsh Ancestry and he may be a son of Silas George and Mary. Silas was the son of Edward who was a brother of Ellis George that migrated from Merion (Philidelphia) to Berks Co., Pennsylvania and then on to Frederick Co., Virginia and owned land at Dillons Run, Hampshire Co. Virginia. Edward George settled in NC in an area that later became Jefferson co., Tennessee. Williams must have migrated with Thomas Beals family, when they left Lost Creek MM, to join the migration movements of Quakers, (including GEORGE and BARRETT cousins) moving from Frederick Co. [Hopewell] Virginia, into southern Ohio, Highland Co. in 1803.

The Beals family migrated from Chester Co., Pennsylvania to Winchester, Virginia and on to Mt. Pleasant, Grayson Co., Virginia.(Near the Carroll Co., border and the town of Galax, Virginia, New Hope,Jackson co., Tennessee and finally to Highland Co., Ohio.
