George Oxer
George Auxier was born about 1750, possibly in Pennsylvania. He was the son of John Michael Axer and Maria Barbary Speiss, who married on December 21, 1746 in Tulpehocken Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
George was one of 12 children. One brother, Michael Auxier III, was known as "Bald-headed Mike" after being scalped by an Indian near Fort Blackmore, Virginia.

George's first wife is unknown; she had two children (Samuel and a daughter), and probably died young.
George's second wife was Dorcas Shelly, who probably had 8 more children with George.
In the 1780's, George lived in Russell County, Virginia. He was in financial trouble, possibly due to the forfeiture of a recognizance to the Commonweath of Virginia because he failed to appear in court. He was ordered by the overseers of the poor to bind Samuel apprentice to Christopher Cooper, a blacksmith, in 1786. He was also ordered to bind a female child apprentice (Russell County, VA Court order book 2, page 15).
George later moved to Franklin County, Georgia, and then Montgomery County, Kentucky.
George died in Montgomery County, Kentucky in 1809.
