Craft Masonry in Orange and Rockland Counties, New York

The brick-making business soon
gave George a wider field for
the exercise of his powers, and
this, with the rapid advance in
the value of real estate,
increased his wealth to such an
extent that he became one of
the wealthiest men of the
county. In 1829 he was elected
a member of the assembly of
New York, and reelected in
1830. He took a deep and active
interest in the military
profession, and was a colonel
and afterward a brigadiergeneral
of the militia of
Rockland county, N. J. He also
became judge of the court of
common pleas.
