George Rex Genealogy

George Rex was born in England in 1750, and came to America in the early 1770s. He eventually settled in western Pennsylvania, where he and his wife raised 12 children. The majority of this volume concerns the descendants of those 12 children. George Rex is historically significant, as his birth may have been the product of a morganatic marriage between King George III and Hannah Lightfoot, a commoner. Originally researched and published by Leda Ferrell Rex in 1933, this volume has been rewritten and updated to the present day.
