Moses George, an adult, was also a witness. I am looking for records of the births of David, Josiah, Michael, Jonathon, Eunice, Simeon, and Sally George. Cochran, in his History of Antrim, N.H., says Simeon (Sr.) is the father, but I believe the father to be Moses George who married in Newbury in 1752 Susannah Downing. Eunice married Samuel Downing (see The Last Men of the Revolution).

Hi, Phil and others,

According to the George Genealogy, compiled and published by Keith H.
George (1991), starting page 45, the above are children of Moses4 George
and Susannah Downing.

If you can find a copy of this book in some library, there is an
abundance of information. Keith George recently died at the age of
approximately 80. He was a great person and researcher.

Good luck,
Joann Nichols
