Being called away from him (brother, George E.) a few moments, when I returned I found he was among the missing . Inquiring, for I had pledged myself for his well-being and safe return, I learned he was seen " making tracks" toward the Gap; so I hurried on and soon overtook him , plodding hurriedly along about half a mile down the Gap road. He seemed
much surprised to be overhauled so soon by me. I asked him why he had left me so hastily, and told him I expected him to remain all night with me. He said he thought he had plenty of time to walk down to his sister's, and as he had hea rd she was sick, he would go there, and stop with me when he returned. I told him he had better go back with me, and I
would take him down in a carriage the next day. But he refused, and, as I was
determined to be faithful to my trust, I walked with him. The sister he spoke of is the
youngest of the family, a girl of eighty-six, who lives five miles from the "Water Gap, near the place where he was born. So, on we walked and talked, and I thought no more of
rock-fish for the present.
We walked on, reaching the sister's about sunset, and there was joy again. She was not sick-she was working jn til e garden! I left the old brother and young sister, promising to come again at an early day, walked a short distance to the station, took the cars, and returned.

"During the Revolutonary War George was arrested. He had had a broken leg, and used it as an excuse to keep him out of the Yankee army because he thought the cause was hopless and wanted nothing to do with it. One day while George was working outdoors, a man came to him and said he was a British spy and he needed a place to spend the night. George took him to his house. Not long after, Yankee soldiers came and pronounced George a Tory and arrested him. He was later bailed out and sent home when it was proven that his leg was unfit for military duty.

About 1808 George set off to Ohio after selling most of his property to his son Isaac. He was about 85 years old at the time. It took him two weeks to reach his destination (near Toledo, Ohio).
