George Julian, Sr.

George married Martha Denton about 1726 in Cecil Co, MD. They were the parents of: George, II/abt 1726 m. Hannah Madden Jacob, Sr/abt 1729 m. Rachel Alexander Leah/1733 (Mrs Nathaniel Erwin) Rachel/1735 (Mrs Samuel Moss) John/abt 1736

(Note: Not much is known about Martha. Her name is on the deed of 1758 in Frederick Co, VA. After George's death, she married a man named Black).

It is believed that George was injured in the battle at the Fort of Dorchester and died of his wounds there. He owned considerable land (both grants and purchased). He moved to Guilford, North Carolina in 1755. His land joined his brother, Issac's. At least two sons fought in the Revolutionary War. This George was a loyalist. Some records seem to state that his lands were confiscated for public use but others do not support this. "Estate not confiscated, but sold, 1788 by administrator Jacob Julian for George's heirs."

In regards to his death: 18 Jan 1782, Jemina Ponder's affadavit saith: "She did live at the Creek Meeting House below Dorchester and that George Julian, who did live on King's Creek in District aforesaid, was there and she said despondant did see the said George Julian depart this life between the first and middle of September in the year 1781".
