Lieb is German for love . If the German George Cutlip presented here was not our first ancestor, those who propose an English background will have to produce an English George very much like this German George. According to his military record our George was born in 1711 and 38 years later decided to move to the New World and to chase the American Dream. However, the stay in SC was brief. Nothing more appears in public records.
Many interesting questions remain unanswered.
Mid-1750s Sometime, not too long after the move to PA, George married again. As a guess, Abraham may have been born a year or two later. 1756 war broke out again with the Indians and the French. Of 29 men from his area who volunteered for duty, George Gotlieb was the first. The name change was complete.
