George was the son of Samuel and Catherine "Kitty" Cupp/Kupp [ some report as Culp ] Dewees.

Handwritten records for him often look like, or were recopied as, "Dewers," but the name was Dewees, which sometimes later was modified into Deweese.

He was first married to Sarah Whiteman, whose tombstone in Mount Peace cites her as his wife. She also is in George's burial group.

At age 61, he next married Harriet "Hattie" Louise Clark Garrett at Twentieth Street Methodist Episcopal Church. Harriet's son by her first marriage, J. Willis B. Garrett, who died at age 12, shares their burial group at Mount Peace. That group includes George's mother and siblings. George, in fact, was listed as the burial group plot's owner.

He then married Laura Brooke after her marriage to George Heil. George and Laura married 11 Aug. 1902 or 1903 (two records conflict) at Abigail Vale Methodist Episcopal Church. She is not buried in George's burial group.

George's death certificate does not reference either wife, but the burial group list shows Harriet as sharing his street address. And the death record cites George as married. Sarah must have been his first wife.
