George E. Hallock biographical sketch on page 352 in
Chapter LXII, Peru.
George E. Hallock.
The ancestors of the Hallock family settled in Suffolk Co., Long Island, in 1640. George Hallock, the subject of this sketch, is descended from John Hallock, a grandson of Peter Hallock, one of the settlers above mentioned.
The parents of George were Peter and Mary (Kees) [sic] Hallock, who had ten children: Elizabeth, Joshua, John Kees [sic], Jemima, Isaac, Phebe, George, Sarah, Joseph Addison, and Mary Ann. Peter Hallock, with his family, came to this county in 1794, and settled on the place where his son George now lives. The broad, fertile, and well-tiled fields, so well fenced and kept now, at that time were one unbroken forest, which his father and sons, and he and his sons, by dint of much toil, have transformed from dense and tangled woods to the condition which they now present. Long may they live to enjoy the fruits of their industry.
George has always lived on the homestead, and made farming his business. He has taken a lively interest in politics; has been supervisor of his town for several terms, once chairman of the board under Democratic majority, although a life-long Whig and Republican. He was for three years coroner, and served his district in the Legislature of the State.
Mr. Hallock has been married three times. To his present wife, Amanda F. Sheldon, third daughter of Edmund and Mary (Haight) Sheldon, of Willsborough, Essex Co., N.Y., he was married June 6, 1839. As a result of this union, two children have been born, - George P., living with his father, and Charles H., living in Chicago, engaged in the grain-trade, and member of the Board of Trade of that city.
Mr. Hallock belongs to the old Quaker stock, at one time so numerous in this section. His father, as carpenter and joiner, built the first Friends' meeting-house in "The Union," Peru, and was an elder of the society at his death, and for many years before.
Mr. Hallock is a cousin of the poet Fitz-Greene Hallock." END
