George possessed kalati, trade books in which credit records were kept and the mark of a major trader in Duala eyes.
For example, the Sarah's records state that George sold only 40 slaves to Angua's 50, and his "dash" was much smaller.
He disowned his eldest son, Priso a Doo, because of the boy's violent behaviour.
In fact, George may have helped European traders capture Priso for murdering some of their compatriots.
Thus, George's death may have been indirectly responsible for the Duala people's split into the rival Bell and Akwa lineages.
