Abstract
[David George was a significant figure in the religious history of his people. He
was born in Essex County, Virginia, in about 1742, of parents John and Judith,
who were brought out of Africa in bonds. He had four brothers and four sisters all born into slavery like himself. In an autobiographical piece published in a contemporary journal, he said he remembered as a slave boy fetching water and carding cotton, and then going into the field to farm Indian corn and tobacco until he was nineteen. He recalled many instances of violence against his family.]
