From Ezra Eby Book

George Shoemaker, "was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, February 6th, 1778. On March 19th, 1799, he was married to Mary Detweiler who was born May 10th, 1775, and died September 22nd, 1850.

Here he was engaged in the woollen mills, carding, fulling and dying wool and yarns. He was a woollen manufacturer by trade. Here he resided until 1804, thence he moved to Pottstown, on old Isaac Shantz's farm, from there he, with his small family, in 1806 moved to a place where he remained for one year, thence he moved to Skippack where he remained five years. In 1812 he moved to Benjamin Reiff in Lower Salford Township, and after-wards to John Reiff where they resided until spring, 1825, when he with his wife and three sons and a daughter, namely: Jacob and wife, Daniel, Joshua, and Catharine, moved to Canada. They resided for a short time after their arrival here in this county, on old Christian Schneider's farm one mile south of Breslau.
