  • Notes 
    • George DeBolt served in the Revolutionary War and is listed in the Partior Index of the Daughters of the American Revolution. He was a preacher and a veterinarian. In his 1924 report, Norman Fuller Overturf gives a thorough description of him: "He had steady, brillian black eyes that seemed to see the very soul and spirit of all about him; had an abundant hair on his crown, did not wear a beard, was strong built and very tall, rumor was DeBolts had a slight strain of Indian blood." And, he added that DeBolts in general had "rather piercing black or dark eyes, profuse dark hair, were stocky, quick motioned, rather inclined to be eccentrically erratic and inclined to be religiuos."

      Martha Katherine Smith Whited claimed that her people were "Black Dutch" in origin. The phrase, which has long been a source of confusion, may simply mean "darker toned, darker haired, Germanic peoples." (In early America, the word "Deutsch" was commonly mispronounced as "Dutch.")

      George DeBolt married Elizabeth Teagarden in what is now Frederic County, Maryland. Their children were William, David, Daniel Aaron, Abraham, mary, George Jr, Rezin, Jacob, Jeremiah, and Teagarden Solomon. All but William were born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.

      George DeBolt and his wife are buried on the family farm, in Fayette County.
