George March (born January 14th, 1651). Son of Hugh March & Judith

From http://home.comcast.net/~ld-artist/March/1600/GeorgeMarch.htm

In December of 1667, a group of people got together to make plans to settle the "new" towns of Woodbridge and Pascataway in New Jersey. Amoung the men were George March and his father Hugh.

As of January 14th, 1668 George held title to 90 acres of land in Woodbridge. Family tradition has him "going by coastal vessel to that place with his father."

On June 12, 1672, George March married Mary Folsom daughter of John Folsom of Exeter, New Hampshire. George and Mary had 12 children.

1. George March: b. October 6, 1674, Newbury, MA
2. John March: b. August 18, 1676
3. Stephen March: b. September 18, 1677 in Newbury d. February 10, 1684, Newbury, MA @ six years of age.
4. Mary March: b. 1678, Newbury, MA; d. Infant, Newbury, MA

8. Stephen March: b. November 16, 1687 Newbury, MA; d. before 1718 in Newbury, MA

10. George March: b. April 24, 1698. d. November 17, 1661

Out of all of his children Hugh March was probably closest to George the most. When Hugh took over operations of the tavern Hugh gave the "old farm and dwelling house" to George. Later George was to erect a fence around the graves of both his parents "within the Sawyers Hill Burying Ground.

" In 1697 George sold his property at Woodbridge, which had grown to include 260 acres to one Peter Elston.

George's wife Mary died Abt. 1717 in Newbury, MA.

Much confusion has arisen due the placement of this Sarah (March) Chase in the wrong parental family in the 1928 Chase genealogy. That otherwise estimable work shows her as having been the daughter of George Chase. However, the will of her father, Hugh March, conclusively proves that she was his daughter. George also had a daughter Sarah, born at nearly the same time in the same town, but George's daughter Sarah Chase married Humphrey Deering.
