Sketch of George W. Redmon, St. Charles County, Missouri >From "A History of the Pioneer Families of Missouri, with numerous sketches, anecdotes, adventures, etc., relating to Early Days in Missouri" by William S. Bryan and Robert Rose, Published by Bryan, Brand & Co., St. Louis Missouri, 1876. ********************************************************************** George W. Redmon, with his wife and four children, emigrated from Clark County, KY., in 1828, and settled in St. Charles. He was one of the citizens who, in conjunction with Nathan Boone, took the first steps towards incorporating the town of St. Charles, and laying off the commons, which were leased for a period of nine hundred and ninety nine years. Mr. Redmon died in 1833, but his widow is still living near St. Charles, at the age of 85 years. Their children were: John W., Thomas J., Permelia A. and Lucinda. John W., is an active busi- ness man, and has acquired a comfortable fortune. He married Anna Miller, of Columbia, MO. Thomas J., was a volunteer in the Black Hawk War; also in the Seminole War in Florida. He died in 1842. Permelia married Charles Wheeler, a lawyer, of Lincoln County, where she now resides. Lucinda married Major N. C. Orear, and died in 1852. Major Orear was for many years connected with the press of St. Charles, and was for a long time intimately connected with the manufacturing and commercial interests of the city and county. He removed to St. Louis a few years since, and is now engaged in the real estate business in that city. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
