Georgina George

[1] She moved from just singing when she took the role of Rosetta in Love in a Village and then sang in Comus and in Artaxerxes, all by Thomas Arne.

She appeared in Apollo Turn'd Stroller which was notable[1] because it was written by the fashionable army officer Sir John Morella Oldmixon.

[2] At one time Oldmixon had been a beau at Bath, where he took pride in having the correct number of curls in his hair.

In that year they were both short of money, and George was given an offer to appear in America.

[4] They bought a house nearby in Germantown, where her husband grew vegetables and drove in each day with items to sell and carrying George for her performances.
