George Washington Knowlton

Son of Sidney Algernon Knowlton and Harriet Burnham

Married Mary Newton

George reached the age of 29 when he died. He was prevented by sickness and death from obtaining a family of his own in this life.

He had made as a partner in the stock raising enterprise with his brothers and brother-in-law.

At his death of consumption George was engaged to marry Mary Newton, an English convert to the church was then 26 years old. Mary had nursed him many months during his final illness. Measuring up to the best scriptural tradition, as well as to the laws of "Celestial Marriage" of the church, somewhat over a year thereafter she was sealed to him for "Eternity", April 18, 1863, and the same day sealed for "time" to his younger brother, John Quincy.

Upon approval of the proper church authority, two Indian girls, Topsy and Rescue, who had been members of the John Quincy Knowlton families for many years, were sealed to George Washington and Mary Newton Knowlton, 29 Feb 1968.
