  • Notes 
    • In 1752, in Albemarle County, Virginia, he was the administrator of the will of his father-in-law, Arthur Osborn.

      He was from Rutherford County, North Carolina and owned land in North Carolina and Kentucky. He lived in Mercer, Franklin and Shelby Counties, Kentucky.

      He may have been a soldier in the Revolutionary War and possibly fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain in North Carolina.

      George's will dated 24 Aug 1784 (codicil dated 24 Mar 1789) names his wife, Ann Osborn; children Margaret, Isabelle Barnett, Jannett Jones, Arter Monroe, Ann Wilson, William Phillip, Osborn, Mary, and John Monroe. The codicil names his granddaughter, Ann, William's daughter. It was proved in Jul 1789 and probated in Rutherford County, North Carolina and witnessed by Thomas Stockton, John Price, David Mowlin and David Stockton.

      Ann's estate was divided among 7 legatees, which means she may have been George's second wife. His first wife may have been named Sanders.

      The Price and Ellis references say that George is the same person as George [2815]. The Garrigues reference says that George was the son of Capt. Andrew Munroe [201] and a wife to whom he was married before he married Christian Tyler. The Beggs reference says George is the same person as George [3457]. There is obviously a lot of confusion in this area and the correct version is not known to me.
