Lorah
George was a Revolutionary war soldier who served in Daniel Reiff's Company of East Oley Berks County, 1777. Just who George's wife was or where she is buried we do not know. She may easily hae been buried with him, but we have no record or no stone to give us any proof of the statement. We know from the Baptism record of his grandson John in 1808, that George and Maria Lorah stood as sponsor. Thus we conclude that Maria was his wife's name.
