GEORGE LIGGETT , born about 1816 in Ohio, son of WILLIAM and ESTHER HAYS LIGGETT. George was the youngest of 10 children.
Sometime between his birth and 1820, George’s father passed away. Esther is listed in the 1820 Federal Census as head of household with 10 children. About 1829, Esther migrated to Montgomery/Fountain County, Indiana with her oldest sons.
George married Catherine Ann BELL on 1 April 1837 in Montgomery County, Indiana. Not a lot is known about Catherine. She gave birth to two sons: Andrew (abt 1844) and James (5 March 1845). Catherine does not appear in George’s household in the 1850 Federal Census.
In 1850, George is living in Cain, Fountain County, Indiana with his mother and two sons. By 1860, Andrew and James are living in other households working as farm hands. It is believed that both George & Esther died before 1860. Death information for Catherine, George or Esther has not been found at this time.
