      Married 1st, Hannah S. Gilman, March 10, 1836, Gilford, NH. 
      Married 2nd, Eliza J. Hoyt, April 29, 1860, Gilford, NH.

      George W. Munsey early learned the shoemaking business at Meredith Bridge, with one Mugget, and for many years pursued the business at the village. David Hale Munsey [brother] and Amos Prescot Munsey [son of George W.] also carried on the business, in connection with George W. 

      George W. and D. H. Munsey were also dealers in leather. The sole-leather trade was considerable. In later years ready-made shoes, for sale in shoe stores, supplied the greater part of the demand, so that, with a greater population and larger volume of business in the shoe line, the custom-workers were less. It was the almost universal custom for each man to buy a stock of leather and have it made into shoes and boots for the family on measure. The first settlers rarely had boots, but used the shoe and buckskin, and some thought it a sinful extravagance to wear boots, especially of calf-skin.

      He later kept a general store at Gilford, and also owned a farm in that village, which he cultivated, at least by proxy. In religious faith he was a Free Will Baptist. He married Hannah Gilman, who was born there in 1817, and died in 1859, aged forty-two years. Her parents were Jeremiah and Betsey (Hodgedon) Gilman. The children of this union were: John G., Hannah, Edwin, Mary, and Park.
