Notes:
from Jane Priester Hawkin's book (p 19):
"GEORGE is believed to have died in 1872. On December 23, 1874,
two years after his death, the United States Commissioners of Claims
responded
to GEORGE's 1871 petition {for damages of $3,840.50. See p 18}.
They
stated that GEORGE's application to testify in his own behalf was
rejected
by Commissioner Epting of South Carolina. A neighbor has stated
that
'GEORGE had always been a bitter rebel and cursed the Union'".
Note that his elder son George Ulmer, and his son-in-law Marion M. Main, were both killed in the Civil War.
Death-- deeds of land transfer to his children are dated July 3, 1872.
