Biography
George was born in 1791.
Mr. Geo. Kay was a volunteer in the War of 1812 and served in Capt. Robinson's company of Pennsylvania Militia. For his services, he was granted a pension, which he enjoyed while he lived, and his widow, after him, to the day of her death. They were ardent Methodists, and excellent people. . . . "
(Annals of Platte County, Missouri, page 418, by W. M. Paxton of Platte City, MO; Hudson Kimberly Publishing Co, Kansas City, MO - 1897)
George was born in Washington County, Maryland. In 1801 (George would have been approximately 10 years of age) he moved with his parents to Franklin County, Pennsylvania. George later relocated to Platte City, Missouri.
