When county lines are re-drawn it confuses us all; but, as best as I can tell, Parnick George owned lots of land in the vicinity of Milan Church. Parnick George was the oldest son of Elizabeth and Travis George of North Knox County that later became Union County. The Georges are said to be English, but now that we have DNA testing there is probably much more detail available. Travis George came to what was then North Knox County before 1797. The first census of the United States –1790–lists Travis George as head of household in Salisbury District, Stokes County, North Carolina. This Travis is believed to be Parnick’s father and progenitor of the local George family.
