George married Hannah Kinnison on or after 8 August 1732 in Chester County, Pennsylvania:[3]

George Hobson, of Burlington County, New Jersey granted marriage license August 8, 1732 to marry Hannah Kinnison. On 2 November 1743, George's parents (George Sr. and Elizabeth Hobson) gifted to him 600 acres of land, surveyed the day previously by Alexander Ross. George later conveyed part of this land back to them on 5 March 1744.[4]

He married second, Rebecca (Unknown). Very little is known of Rebecca. It is assumed that she was younger than her husband George and therefore born after 1716. George's first wife Hannah (Kinnison) Hobson is last recorded signing a deed in August 1760. Rebecca signed a deed in 1761 as the wife of George; their marriage can be inferred to be in late 1760 or 1761. George and Rebecca were noted as residents of Orange County, North Carolina.[5]

He passed away about 1797.
