Family records say 1815 on the year George was
born. He was killed in a railroad accident 26
August 1871. Descendants of Walter C. Bancroft
assert that George Washington Bancroft was the son
of George Washington Bancroft by his first wife,
Jane T. Osborne. However, the Danvers Vital Records
show that the child by this marriage was Geoge
Harrison Bancroft.
