Josiah George¹

• Birth*: circa 1796; per email from Kathleen E. Coffee, Feb 26 2010.¹
• Marriage: circa 1819; Murray Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; "You are right Charlotte Sandell-Flindall did marry Joseph J. Gibson after (Capt.) Josiah George's being lost at sea(?) around 1840. I don't think they had any children as I have in 1842 she was still Charlotte George but by 1862 she was Charlotte Gibson. She may have been past child bearing by then? Note I have Josiah disappeared when 40 years old, left wife, 3 girls and 2 boys. Edward M. George born 27 December 1819 married Deborah Gibson (Edward a sea captain) Eliza Eunice George born 19 March 1824, married Gilbert Bettes 31 Oct. 1842, died 23 Feb. 1900 in Kent County,MI USA William George born ca 1829 married a Jane. 2 girls died from scarlet fever" per email from Kathleen E. Coffee, Mar 5 2010.; Principal=Charlotte Flindall¹
• Death*: circa 1843; "Josiah George's being lost at sea(?) around 1840 .... Note I have Josiah disappeared when 40 years old, left wife, 3 girls and 2 boys." per email from Kathleen E. Coffee, Mar 5 2010
  Note: He does appear in 1840 Census in Oswego Co., NY.¹

  Note: This is the only 1840 Census record for Josiah George that matches the ages of the parents and children, more or less. Oswego would be a perfectly logical place for him to be since he was a "Mariner" on the lakes. He does not appear in Murray during the 1830's at all. If anyone has further info re this, please let me know.³
