George was baptised Johann Georg Fesenbecker at the Evangelical Reformed Church in Heidelsheim, Germany on August 16, 1757. His parents are listed as Joh Georg Fesenbecker and Catharina Pleshen.

He is listed as Georg Vesenbecker, private in the 6th Company, Jager Batallions roster. He fought as a Hessian solider for England during the Revolutionary War.

He was captured and listed as a prisioner of war but not much more is known about his service record or whereabout until he shows up as a settler in Western Maryland near Barton Maryland living on military lot 3869.

He married Elizabeth Corbus, born in Germany in the 1750's or 60's.

On August 31, 1799 he purchased military lots 3858 and 3859 near where he had settled.

Some of this original farm is still in the Fazenbaker family today.

It is thought that he died in late 1809 or early 1810 because his will was probated on May 12, 1810 in Cumberland, Maryland.

His exact burial location is unknown but most likely he is buried on his homestead farm in a small cemetery referred to as the Michael Cemetery.
