--------------------------------------------------
George Erety, Jr. was born in Philadelphia on July 20, 1806 and died in Philadelphia on August 10, 1867. Rev. Elisha Cushman, pastor of New Market Street Baptist Church in Philadelphia, united George Erety and Sarah M. Perry in matrimony on March 4, 1826. William Erety, their son, was born in Philadelphia in 1827, and died in Philadelphia on 26 Oct 1884. He married Amanda Conway, and they had one daughter, Ada. Mary Elizabeth Erety, daughter of George Erety Jr. and Sarah Perry Erety, was born on July 11, 1833 and died in Bridgeton, Cumberland County, New Jersey on March 4, 1895.
George Erety Jr. and his wife Sarah M. Perry Erety are found in the 1850 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Census: Household No. 532. Philadelphia, 4th Ward, North Liberties, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. George Erety, age 44, alderman, value of property owned - $9,000, born PA; Sarah M. Erety, age 44, born New Jersey; William Erety, age 23, bookbinder, born PA; Mary Erety, age 17, born PA. (FP 30, pt. 18, 5073)
George Jr. wrote a very interesting letter to his daughter Mary about the excitement in Philadelphia because of preparations for the Civil War: "...mustering of troops, the constant roll of the drum, and all the women of Philadelphia are making soldier's clothes - 30,000 suits are to be made - to all of which I say God Speed. All that is worth living for is now at stake and it is far better that thousands of men shall lay down their lives than that this fratricidal rebellion shall succeed and if it shall be necessary I will as willingly give my life in the Cause of Liberty as I would sit down to my table to break bread with my children, but be of good cheer. God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps on the Sea and rides upon the storm."
