George TROUTNER Jr.
George Jr. (son of George Michael and Anna Margretha Jake
TROUTNER) was born in Pennsylvania in 1755. George Jr. and his wife
(Susannah EARHART) were the parents of the following children who were
born in Pennsylvania: John (born 1 April 1786); Margaret (born 17 July
1787); George (born 14 April 1789); Susannah (born 25 January 1791); and
Elizabeth (born 10 March 1794).
George Jr., following in his father’s footsteps, enlisted as a private in
the Northumberland County Pennsylvania Militia in early-1778. He initially
served in Captain Michael WEAVER’S 2nd Company, 4th Battalion. His
battalion commander was Colonel Peter Hosterman (who had previously
served as a private with George Jr.’s father in Captain Benjamin Weiser’s
company of the Northumberland County Militia in 1777).
Captain WEAVER’S unit spent the winter at Valley Forge with
General George Washington. His company took part in the Battle of
Monmouth NJ on 28 June 1778. This battle was the last major engagement
fought in the northern theater of the war. By the spring of 1780, George Jr.
was stationed on the frontiers of Northumberland County. In June and July
1780, George Jr. served in the Northumberland County Rangers under
Lieutenant John SPEES. In 1786, he was a corporal in Captain Andrew
BALLEY’S 7th Company, 5th Battalion in the York County Pennsylvania
Militia. George Jr. ended his military service on 29 Oct 1789.
In the late 1790’s, George Jr. with his brother Joseph and their
families left Pennsylvania to settle on the frontier. George Jr. and his family
settled south of Chillicothe, OH (where his wife died of bilious fever in 1802).
On 12 Apr 1808, George Jr. married Betsey Elizabeth CRAWFORD. George
Jr. died on 25 Feb 1819 at the age of 64 and is buried in the Hamilton/
Lunbeck Cemetery on Lunbeck Road, Scioto Twp, Ross County, Ohio.
