8 George Washington Finger 21 Jun 1857
His parents moved from North Carolina to Indiana at an early age. He moved from Indiana to Texas in 1846, and settled in Tarrant County. - History of Texas
He went to California during the gold fever, but soon returned to Texas. In the great war between the States (1861-5), although he was past the age when military service could be exacted of him, he enlisted in the Confederate army, was assigned to duty in Texas, and for some time helped guard Federal prisoners at Tyler. After the war he devoted himself to his farm. He was for a number of years justice of the peace at Arlington. - Historic Texas
In view of the above, we wonder if he might also be the Lewis Finger age 34, miner, born Indiana, who is on the 1850 Weaverville, Trinity, California census (img 3). (Taken October, 1850).
Found him on the 1850 Navarro, Tarrent, Texas census (img 6) as Lewis Finger age 33, farmer.
Found him on the 1870 Precinct 1, Tarrant, Texas census (img 35) as L. Finger age 53, farmer.
Found him on the 1880 92nd District, Tarrant, Texas census (img 47) as Lewis Finger age 63, farmer. Born Indiana, father, mother born North Carolina.
