George, Andrew W.
Andrew W. George was born into slavery, possibly in South Carolina, around 1852.
In New Orleans he was sold to the George family of Elgin, Texas about 1858. After the Civil War, George worked as a janitor in the Travis County Courthouse; as a cook and domestic servant for judge Alexander Watkins Terrell; and as a camp cook for the state and U.S. geological surveys (1880s). Subsequently, he did various types of domestic work for several families in Austin. Andrew George never married and died in late 1932 or 1933.
