[Note by Rhetta(July 5, 2015): Daniel Sylvester George was my great grandfather. Though his death certificate lists his birthplace as Scotland and his father as Daniel George, I have many documents that disprove that information. The info on his death certificate was given by his wife Mary, to whom he had only been married for a few months and perhaps she did not know his birthplace or parentage.]
