  • ID: I414195
  • Name: George POSS
  • Sex: M
  • ALIA: George /Poss/, Jr.
  • Birth: ABT 1795
  • Note:
    Age based on 1st appearance in Wilkes Co. Tax Digest in 1817. Subtracting 22 from 1817 makes him born in 1795 which is verified by the Wilkes County Cenus of 1850. The year 1823 is the last time there are both George Sr. and George Jr. in the Wilkes Tax Digest. It appears that George Jr. is the one who remains yet George Sr. is suppose to have applied for his father Christophers Rev. Pension in 1855 in Wilkes Co., GA.
