George's participation in the Revolutionary War consisted of providing supplies (beef) as indicated in Court Booklet: p.19, Certificate 1 for Hampshire County. He was reimbursed on May 11, 1784. George died without a will but court records show that in 1788 Hannah and others were bonded to appraise George's property. He had accumulated a number of horses, and other livestock. He was in the process of acquiring additional land from Josiah Davisson that was eventually deeded to his son John. Because of the land purchase and the appointment of guardians for his three children, the settlement of his estate was still an issue in 1797. The vendue document of February 1791 indicates that all of his personal property, household goods, livestock,and tools were sold to Hannah and others. Among the names mentioned were James Dyer, Matthew Patton, Robert Davis, George Trumbo, Michael Harpole, and James Blizzard. Between 1788 and February 1791, Hannah had married Jacob Trumbo and moved to Brocks Gap as indicated in the same document "The estate of George Cowger dec'd with James Dyer and Hannah Trumbo late Hannah Cowgar Admins."</p>
