George Haslock of England
George Haslock was born in about 1620 in London, England. And before 1645, he married an unknown spouse. George is reported to have been a prosperous London merchant.
Sometime before September of 1660, George and family migrated to Rappahannock (now Richmond) Co VA where he purchased land. George made his fortune in America by exporting tobacco, the staple crop of the colony, with the merchants of Bristol back in England.
George's date of death is set from his last land grant on 7/9/1665 and Richard Branham's immigration date by 10/14/1665. These dates are witnessed to by Richard Branham's statement on 9/8/1712.
