Military service in Revolutionary War:
"Arriving in Lincoln County in the year 1781 [before his parents] as a nineteen year old pioneer, [George Herman] became acknowledged as the young, single German man from Pennsylvania. Within weeks of arriving he joined the local Colonists' soldiers fighting against Great Britain. During his three years of service up to the end of hostilities in this area, he rose in rank from a private to Captain."
Purchase of lands in North Carolina:
"When his family arrived in 1786 [in North Carolina, George] was granted, for the sum of one hundred twenty American dollars, two hundred fifty acres from the former Lord Granville grant located on Mecklings Creek, near Lyles Creek north of the settlement of Conover, North Carolina. Two hundred of these acres were for his father who had sent his brother William Jr. one year earlier with money to be used for land acquisition. The other twenty-five acres he purchased for his own use.
. . .
George retained his land in Long Shoals Creek and added to it substantially until his death in 1850. He and Elizabeth purchased additional land west of Conover near the settlement of Hickory, North Carolina and established a blacksmith shop and more farm acreage. Prior to his death he wrote his will on November 7, 1841 which was probated at the July Session of Catawba County court in the year 1850. The will contained a codicil bequeathing a one hundred ninety-five acre tract of land on Long Shoals Creek to his son William, who was named after his grandfather, John William Herman. He also bequeathed William his blacksmith tools. His will provided, with either land or money, for all his other children and their spouses."
