Biography

George Layman II has German Roots.

George Layman II was a Maryland colonist.

N.B. George was originally listed as a Revolutionary Patriot, but it was later found that the service record actually belonged to another George Layman/Lemon from the area (Botetourt and Alleghany counties, Virginia) who was unwed and had no dependents. Currently there is no evidence that this George Layman served in the Revolution. (Patricia Prickett Hickin, 26 April 2019).

George was born about 1760 in Frederick County (now Carroll County), Maryland, near Union Bridge^[1] the third of eight known children and the second of three known sons of George and Salome Unknown Lehman.

George was probably born in this house,
nearUnion Bridge, MD

In March 1785, when he was about twenty-one, and probably while he was still living in Maryland, he married Barbara Baumgardner. They immediately began having children, and they had a total of twelve, eight sons and four daughters.

By the 1790s George had moved south with his brother Christian to Botetourt County, Virginia. George appears in the 1820, 1830, 1840, and 1850 censuses for Botetourt County.

On 20 December 1799 he signed a deed for land on Glade Creek, east of the Blue Ridge Mountains near present-day Bonsack.
