George M. Giles

George initially arrived in the Valley in 1862, but a few years later he is seen crossing the plains again, this time as a teamster for William Chipman's 1866 out-and-back company from the Hebersville Ward.

It should be said that there is some conflicting information concerning George's exact date of birth. While George's death certificate states he was born 6 March 1840, his headstone and obituary state that he was born 9 March 1840. Also, some census records indicate he was born in 1843. More research is needed to prove George's date of birth.
