George entered the "D.C." militia from his residence in early Virginia (now West Virginia as a private and attained the rank of captain under Col. Magruder in the War of 1812. He was present at the burning of Washington by the British and was wounded at the Battle of Bladensburg, Maryland. He died in July 1861.

Sarah and George lived all across Middle America before coming to Texas from Missouri in 1853.
In 1853 Sarah and George were farming on land they owned east of present Central Expressway and Mockingbird Lane. How they happened to come to Texas is not known; I suspect that there were relatives who had preceded them, but don't know for sure.
George's mother was a Helm and the early and historic Richard Gan family were here with a Helm family, but we have no clues to make a connection. Niles served the Confederacy during the Civil War, enlisting in 1861 into Co. B of the 18 th Texas Cavalry, which was captured at Arkansas Post in January 1863 and "exchanged" in April that year.
