George Mewborn was about five feet ten inches high, well formed and a handsome man. He was a fine, promising child. In boyhood he was healthy, active, industrious, and ingenious, quick of comprehension and possessed great business and mercantile gifts. He was a good farmer and attended well to his stock of different kinds. George was a lover of good books and useful study, a good reader and a good mathematician. As for his penmanship, our church book shows very plain and also shows the careful manner in which he kept it. He was received a member at the Mewborn's Meeting House on the 23rd day of September 1850; baptized by the pastor (his father); chosen clerk of said church in September 1851; and chosen deacon of said church in September 1854. For the past two years had commenced to preach and bid fair, under the blessings of God to make an able and worthy minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In early manhood he taught school and worked as a clerk, but by experience learned that he preferred farming, at which he was successful. His home is still standing, which is located near the Mewborn Cemetery. It is a two story house and is still in possession of his heirs, Harold and Jane Sutton. He, along with his wife, is buried in the Mewborn Cemetery. His daughter Nancy Susan, was the first to be buried there and he was the second person when he died at thirty-four years, ten months and twenty-three days. Of this union there were seven children, four sons, and three daughters.
