George Felt, Jr. was baptized with his two sisters in the First Church of Charlestown, Mass., one week after the admission of their mother to the membership of this church, as witnessed by the following entry from its records. "1638 - 11th mo: day 26. Elizabeth Felch: George Felch and Mary Felch, the son and daughters of Elizabeth were baptized." It is probable that at this time he was several years old.[4]
Wife: Philippa Andrews. Marriage: 24 Nov 1662, Falmouth, Cumberland Co., ME. Their children:
- 1. Jonathan Felt
- 2. George Felt
- 3. Samuel Felt (1665–1711)
- 4. Mary Felt m. Josiah Wood[5]
In 1676, Felt Jr. was killed on Peaks Island, Maine, during the King's Philip's War conflicts.
Phillipa, the widow of George Felt, removed, probably at this time to Salem, and married there, Dec. 19, 1682, Samuel Platt, an early settler of Rowley, Mass, as his second Wife. He died and she married again, April 9, 1690, Thomas Nelson, as his third wife. He was the town clerk or recorder of Rowley, from 1694 to 1697. He died April 5, 1712. She died Sept. 29, 1709. The children of George Felt removed finally to Salem about 1690.

In 1670 he received from his mother-in-law, who had married Arthur Mackworth for her second husband and who had been for the second time left a widow, the gift of a homestead, as evidenced by the following deed. "Be it knowne unto all men by these presents, That I Jane Mackworth of ye Towne of ffalmouth alias Casco Bay, widow of Arthur Mackworth Gentl Deceased. For divers good Causes & consideracons me Thereto moving more Especialy for & in consideracon of a Marriage that hath been betwixt my daughter Phillipe & George Felt, have given granted &c a quantity of Land adjoyning to his now dwelling house in ye Town of ffalmouth alias Casco, bounded as followeth, with a deep Gutt hard by a parcel of pines at a place commonly called or knowne by ye name of ye Mussle cove alias, doco Missick upon ye South West Side of my daughter purchas her land which was given her by my Deceased husband Mr Arthur Mackworth Deceased & So in breadth to ye bounds of my Son James Andrews according to a writing or Deed which he Received o fme which lyeth South westerly from ye said Geoge ffelts & So up into ye Country till a hundred acres be Compleate & Ended, allwaies provided that he doe not Entrench neither upon My Son Andrews his land nor my daughter purchas her land, Together likewise with Two parcells of Marsh lying and being in ye aforementioned Towne of Falmouth in ye river which goeth up to poosumskut ye one commonly called or knowne by ye name of Morrice his Marsh Together with all woods underwoods profits privledges Commodities Emoluments & Immunities that may or shall thence arise or any way appertain or belong or to any part thereof To have and To Hold &c, &c.

(Old Norfolk Records, Vol. 4, pg 95)
This gift was evidently made in accordance with the desire of her husband expressed upon his death-bed, his informal will being known to us through the testimony of a neighbor, as follows: "This 17th day of August; 1660, I Robert Jordan to ascertajne on my oath, that I Heard Mr. Arthur Makeworth on his death bedd declare that his full will & testament was, that his wife Mis Jane Mackeworth should by her wisedom dispose of his whoole estate aequally as neare as might bee betweene her former husband's children & the Children between them, & In Case any shortnesse was on either side, that itt should rather bee on his owne Childrens side & further sayth not onely the dease of the sd Mr. Arthur Maceworth was before the submission of these Towns of Sarbrough & Falmouth to the Massatusetts authority under my hand & on my oath, by mee Robrt Jordan." (York County, Maine, Registry of Deeds, Vol. 1, page 155.)
