The earliest record of George is his revolutionary war record in the Pennsylvania Archives Sixth Series Volume II Muster Rolls relating to the Associators and Militia of the County of Washington, First Battalion Washington County (Pennsylvania) Militia. One tradition states he served as a soldier at Fort Pitt, leaving the Army prior to the close of the Revolution, to settle in the vicinity of Fort Jackson. There he is said to have traded a great coat for a tract of land. It is definite that he served a tour of duty with Captain James Archer's Company of Washington County, Pennsylvania Militia in 1782, and a few years later got warrants for two tracts of land in what is now Whiteley Township, Greene County, and settled just north of the Mason & Dixon line, in 1797 on a branch of Whiteley Creek, near the Franklin Township line, on a tract of land named in the patent "shiver-de-frise". His estate was probated June 29, 1813. George and Catherine are buried at Shiver-de-Frise Cem., Greene Co. PA. Children of George and Eva Catarina (Yoho) Lemley are: Jacob Lemley(1765-1834) son of George and Eva Catarina (Yoho) Lemley, was born June 09, 1765 in Whiteley Twp., Greene Co. PA, and died January 18, 1834 in Whiteley Twp., Greene Co. PA. He married Sarah (___) born January 16, 1771 and died September 14, 1863, Whiteley Twp., Greene Co. PA. Jacob did service in the Indian Wars as recorded in the Pennsylvania Archives 6th Series Vol. 5 p 654, Oct 1-31, 1794 in Capt. Anthony Van Sickles Co. Washington County, Greene Twp. (which became a part of Greene Co. in 1796).

Their graves are under a Sugar maple tree and are marked by two small white marble slabs that are fallen. A field stone marker and few depressions in the ground suggest that other persons have been buried here.
