Family tradition is that George was murdered by robbers while traveling with a large sum of money. The exact year of his death is not known but was at some time between 1856 and 1859.
According to Anna Lee Duboise, one of his descendants, the father of George W. Sanders (born December 17, 1812) was Benjamin Sanders and his mother was named Mary. George's wife was the former Anna Johnson and Anna's parents were James and Elizabeth Johnson. Their first child was named Mary Elizabeth Sanders after the mother of George and the mother of Anna. The second child was named Benjamin after his father. She did not know why the third child had the name of Isaac or the middle name of Brantley, but I suspect that Isaac was named after his grandfather, Isaac Saunders.
Anna Lee Duboise stated that George came to Montgomery County to help relocate some Indians in the early 1840s. She did not know much about why he was doing this, but she said he bought a Bible in Arkansas in 1848 for $2. The Bible ended up in the custody of one of Anna Lee's relatives and was damaged by water, but Anna Lee was able to dry it sufficiently that she could make copies of the birth dates that were recorded. George's signature was in the Bible and it matched the signature on the bounty land application he made, so she feels sure the dates were recorded by George himself, not by a relative at a later time.
