The Lumpkin family genealogy and death location for George was confirmed in the journals of his grandson, Georgia Governor Wilson Lumpkin, as well as in the two-volume book set "The Removal of the Cherokee Indians from Georgia" which were transcribed from the journals and published in 1907. He wrote: "My grandfather, being a sensible enterprising man, of more than ordinary means, amongst his frontier neighbors - procured by survey and legal grants, under the then existing law lands of Georgia, a large quantity of very fertile and excellent land, which being obtained at a small expense, was as steadily disposed of to new Emigrants, at the most reduced prices, there being a general desire to see the new population of the country increased.His industry and enterprise might have made him and his posterity wealthy, but being a man of the most liberal feelings of kindness and hospitality, he dispersed as fast as he gathered, enjoyed life bountifully for upwards of four score years, and his remains now slumber in Oglethorpe County, in the neighborhood of his first location."
