- George H. HENDRICKSON 1991: 29 1963: NA DW record number: 1346
George's brother, John, was drafted for the War of 1812 at Wooster, Iowa. When
John became ill, George served out John's time. George stated this in his
application for bounty land. George was 18 when he went into the service, his
tour of duty lasting until the end of the war. He served in the 2nd Regiment
(Cotsgreaves) Ohio Militia, under Captain Delanne Mills.
On 3 May 1851 George applied for bounty land in Washington Co., Iowa. At that
time he gave his age as 56. The transaction was held up because he had omitted
to sign his middle initial. On 3 May 1855 he said he could not return the
application because he had disposed of it and that he was making application
for land under a later release.
Information regarding the children of George and Nancy is sketchy. In the 1820
census for Wayne Co., Iowa two unknown girls under 10 are listed. In 1840
three girls are listed, Nancy, 1 older and 1 younger than their daughter Nancy
who was 20 in the 1850 census.
On 10 Nov 1842, George A. Stott and wife, Matilda, of Richland Co., Ohio,
deeded land in Iowa to George H. Hendrickson "late of Richland Co." (This
means he recently left the county, not that he died.)
George Hendrickson, according to early Washington Co. Iowa court records served
on a jury in the trial of Job Peck on murder charges. The jury was out two
days and rendered a verdict of not guilty. This was the story: Peck married
the girl he loved on 6 Sep 1843. Her "father" ("no one thought he was her
father") objected and forced her to leave her bridegroom. That night the
"father" was mysteriously murdered in his cabin and Job Peck was accused.
