Children of George Washington and Harriet Hartson are: Stephan Francis, born, May 14, 1838, Juliette T. Born: 1839, Lilly born, 1841, Harriet J, born, June 24, 1842, George Warren, born, July 1, 1844, and Albert Hartson, born March 3, 1847, and Eugene M. born April 10, 1851. On his way home from the California gold fields, George Washington Salisbury sent home, from Kansas City, a cane with a gold nugget head and a letter saying he was bringing home a poke worth $1000. The family recieved offical notice of his death. Believed robbed and murdered of this gold. The Salisbury family has handed down a horn, with the carving "William 1800" on it, which was to be passed down to the son named "Francis" I believe this would have bee Stephan Francis, though not for sure. Albert's grandson, Harris has the horn now. Which has been passed to his son after his passing. Still researching George's passing, if family was notified of his death, there should be some information on his date of death and place of burial? Though as of now, the trail is cold. He does not show up after the 1850 census. The scrimshaw or writing on the horn was possibly to date it or show ownership with color or engraving. This was made from and ox, buffalo or cow. Powder horns were to carry gun powder to be used in either a Flintlock or musket.
