Notes	He was not taxed in Beekman but was on the rolls for North East Precinct from June 1765 - 1779. George Head was a Mabbett store customer 1761-63 and bought holland, thread and liquor. He was appointed Constable and Collector (of taxes) in North East 5 APR 1774. He signed the A of A in North East precinct in 1775 and was a Captain in the Sixth Regiment of Dutchess County Militia in the Revolution and was granted Land Bounty Rights. He was in North East Town in 1790 at 4-4-4 between Daniel Almsbury and John Jersey. He was involved in several legal actions in DC. Jacob Schermerhorn sued George Head for debt. Nathan Case sued George Head and Thomas Gray. George Head sued Simon I. Cole and Benjamin Van Steinburgh. He was indicted in JULY 1790 DC Court of Oyer & Terminer for perjury. Possibly to avoid this problem he went to Bradford Co., PA by 1793-4 with his family. [George Head, also from Dutchess county, with a large family, came to Monroe, 1793-'94. Of his children were Alexander, Benjamin, George, John, Samuel and Catharine, the wife of Henry Salisbury, Sr. Mr. Head died about 1800.
