SAMUEL GEORGE is descended from an early pioneer family of Hibernian ancestry. Robert and Christiana George were natives of Ireland, where they were married, and soon afterward immigrated to America. In 1772 they settled on a farm in Mt. Pleasant township, this county, where he died many years ago. His widow survived him twenty years, making her home with her son John George, of Washington county, Penn.  David George was born on the home place in Mt. Pleasant township. In early life he was married to Nancy Scott, who bore him children as follows: Betsey (deceased), Christy (deceased), Margaret (wife of John Roney), Nancy (deceased in 1888, wife of William Connor), Robert and Mary (twins), the former living in Allegheny, Penn., and Samuel (of whom a sketch follows). Mr. and Mrs. George were members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Chartiers township for many years. He died February 7, 1856, and his wife in 1857.  Samuel George was born September 19, 1828, on the home farm in Mt. Pleasant township, receiving his education, in the district schools of the neighborhood. On December 24, 1866, he was united in marriage with Christiana, a native of Mt. Pleasant township, daughter of John and Jane (Slater) George, who were of Irish descent, and natives of Allegheny county, Penn, moving to Mt. Pleasant township, Washington county, in an early day. Her father died in Beaver Falls some years ago; her mother is yet living in Beaver Falls.  Samuel and Christiana George settled on the farm where they now reside, containing 190 acres of excellent land. Their children are Jennie Slater, Annette Mary, John D., Harrison, Lizzie, Emma, Maggie M. and Willie L. In religious faith Mr. and Mrs. George are members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church.
