Henry & Jacob George

School: Berks (Pennsylvania/PA)

Henry George (Yorg) is shown as a gunsmith in an 1804 deed transfer to his son, Jacob “a gunsmith”. Both father and son worked in Greenwich Township. Jacob worked until the 1830s and many samples of his work have been found. His rifles are often confused with Stofil Long’s work and it is likely these two makers had a close working relationship.
