p>George Book* Born about Sep. 1758 in New Jersey; died 2/3/1823. Buried Plain Grove cemetery, Plain Grove, Lawrence Co, PA. Moved to Buffalo Valley, Northumberland Co., PA (later Union Co.) just before the Revolutionary War. He appears in the 1790 census. Settled in Worth Twp, Butler Co, PA. Married Isabella Vogan (4/25/1776 - 10/25/1854), probably daughter of Robert Vogan and Ann Wiley. [It is possible that Isabella was the daughter of Robert's brother John Vogan and Ruth Griffin. Father of Robert and John was probably William Vogan.] Children of George and Isabella were: Christiana (1797-1864), m. Joseph Studebaker Jr. Ruth (1798-1862), m. Charles Slade Fullwood Brantz Sophia (b.c.1802), m. Samuel Campbell John (1803-1887), m. Mary Emery **George Jr (1805-1873), m. Elizabeth Humphrey ***William (1807-1885), m. Anne Emery Samuel (1812-1870), m. Sarah Rebecca Davis James (1812-1868) (above), m. Elizabeth Mary "Molly" Studebaker Mary "Polly" (b.c.1817-1892), m. Harlan Vogan Isabella (b.c.1823-1868), m. Thomas Shannon ≤/p>≤p> ≤/p>≤p>The Zion Baptist Church, Worth Twp, Butler Co, PA was founded 11/15/1841 with seven original members: John and Margaret O Elton, William and Annie Book, Robert and Mary Hampson, and Phoebe Cooper. Thirteen others became members by baptism at the first service. They were William Emery, Ruth Brant, John Book, Thomas and Sarah Josephs, Burton and Margaret Josephs, Samuel and James Book,Harlan and Mary Vogan, Bernard Stoughton, and Nancy Uptegraft. It appears that five of George's children were baptized in one day: Ruth (Brant), John, Samuel, James, and Mary (Vogan). *See "Archives 3rd Series, Vol 23, p.349." Notes from Vera Mae Book (b.1897) have some different b/d dates than those shown above for the children. Will of George Book: Book A, p.103, Butler Co., PA. **George Jr. was the g-grandfather of Clare Brant Book, Principal of New Castle Senior High School for many years; and Mae and June Book who were school teachers and who, with their sister Ruth, lived many years on their father's farm (James Henderson Book (1864-1923). Clare was a World War I veteran who was called just "Book" by his siblings. The New Castle Senior High students had a ditty to the tune of the chorus from The Caisson Song: "And if Bookie comes in here, we'll say Bookie have a beer; in the cellars of old NeCaHi." ***William's son George Milton Book (d.1921) was an Admiral who took his coal supply ship out to resupply Admiral Perry notwithstanding that he knew his ship was of questionable seaworthiness. George Milton Book lived with his second wife on Jefferson Avenue in New Castle, PA. She never visited the Book Homestead and only "tolerated" those farmers when they came to visit. (As related on 4/14/1999 by James Hugh Book (b.1912), brother of the aforementioned Clare Brant Book.) It is with a reasonable degree of certainty that we can say that George Book was a Revolutionary War veteran. He is probably the George Book who served in Joseph Green's Company of the Northumberland Company Rangers on the frontiers. A Conrad, George, and John Book served in this company (PA Archives, Series III, vol.23, p.248, 160-1, and 349) and received depreciation pay (PA Arch, Series 5, vol.IV, p.359, 674; vol.VII, p.207). After the war, George Books is an ensign and Jacob Dreisbach is the Lieutenant in Capt Joseph Green's company of the 5th Militia (Annals of Buffalo Valley, p.241). Descendants of George Book have joined the DAR on the basis of the Archives data in the past (DAR, vol.142, p.199). The DAR Patriot Index, Centennial Edition, Part I, p.304, Washington: 1990; Copyright 1994 by DAR, has the following listing: BOOK: BUCH George: b 1758 NJ d 2-3-1823 PA m Isabella Vogan Pvt PA Jacob: b 12-27-1761 GR d 9-20-1852 PA m Mary Book Pvt PA Michael: b c 1751 GRd 1813 PA m Barbara --- Pvt PA From Mrs. W.C. Bartol's articles 'Revolutionary War Soldiers' printed in the Saturday News, Mar-Apr 1915, as quoted by Mary Belle Lontz in 'Union County, PA 1865-1965': "John George Book -- lived in Buffalo Twp. 1775-87 near Heimbach's, buried at Dreisbach's. Wife Christiana. Martin Dreisbach, Jr. was married to his daughter Sabina, b. 1762, d.1849." [It is very possible that Mrs. Bartol confused John George with his son George, the later of whom would have been about 20 years old at the time of service. Either way, it is reasonably certain either John George or son George, or both, were in the militia during the Revolutionary War.] George Book is listed as a warrantee of land, Northumberland Co, in the PA Archives, 3rd series, vol.25, p.78: Book, Geo. and Wm. Anderson, 160 acres, surveyed, Mar 14, 1793; and p.91 Book, Geo. 200 acres, surveyed, Feb 8, 1803. Here is a brief quote from Northumberland County In The American Revolution: By 1781, this pursuit [of Indian raiders following raids] was detailed to Ranger Companies, who had the status of militia, yet were enlisted for this daring work, leaving the family men and older men for the more routine militia duty and to work the farms, especially at harvest time. Too much credit cannot be given to the protection these Ranger Companies brought to our distressed frontiers during those dark days. Unfortunately these men did not record their hundreds of encounters with the Indians, only a few such as Sam Brady, Robert Covenhoven and Moses Van Campen have recounted their adventures so that they eventually were put into print. These rangers, even though poorly clothed and equipped performed very efficient duty on the frontier.
