George Earnhart was born 9 June 1759 in Cabarrus County, NC. He was twice married; first to Elizabeth Barbara Cauble and second to Margaret Keppel, daughter of Peter Keppel, Sr. and Anna Elizabeth Grobb. No marriage documents have been found for either of these marriage but we know that the 2nd marriage took place before July 1803.
In or about 1812, George and Margaret Earnhart along with several other families left Cabarrus and Rowan County and migrated to Bedford County, Tennessee.
In an affidavit, dated 26 April 1836, for a Revolutionary War Pension, George Earnhart stated that he remained [in NC] after the Revolution until about 24 years ago [1812]. I removed into Bedford County State of Tennessee near Shelbyville where I lived about seven years [till 1819] and then removed into this County where I have lived ever since and where I now live [Madison County, Tenn.].
In September 1835 when the within Land Deed was executed George and Elisabeth (Keppel) Earnhart were in their mid-70’s and had lived a long life.
