#1- From the research of Jan Everly Williams and Madison Strathers, ca. 1935.
George was the son of George Strathers and Mary Hill. From his son Madison Strathers: "My father, George Strathers, Jr., in early childhood, had come to Scenery Hill with his father, George Strathers, SR., his Uncle Robert strathers and Zephaniah Riggle and their families to Virginia and settle in the region of Centerville. The elder Strathers were Union sympathizers, but the Riggles in whose home my father spent most of his youth (his mother having died when he was four years old), were in sympathy with the Conferacy.....[he] set out at the age of sixteen with a neighbor boy, Harvey Tallman, and went down the Ohio (River) to Cincinnati and there attempted to run the Union lines and join the Confederates. Turned back in their attempt, my father returned for a short time to the home county. His father held the position of (civilian) superintendent of transportation at Annapolis, Maryland, and my father joined him there in 1863 and spent the next three years in government positions.....My grandfather {Bowers Furbee} gave the young couple a small piece of land near his home-on which they built a small six-room frame house.....My father taught school four months in winter (1869-1870) in the newly established free school system and sold sewing-machines and patent rights of various sorts during the summer. He was elected justice of the peace first in 1873 and again in 1877. In 1880, he and my mother's nephew, James Wells, opened a store.....In two years they had trusted out all they had to impoverished customers, and they sold out, owing many hundreds of dollars to supply houses."
