In the 1850 Census for Berne, George was recorded as 4 years of age and he was living with his parents and siblings.[8] A decade later, he was living with Denison Crary and his wife Henrietta M. Crary in Knox, Albany County, NY and attending school.[9] It is from them that he obviously got the alias he used during the Civil War.
