Biographical data
Name: Derrickson, George H.  
Born: 1844
Died: 16 Apr. 1862
 
Notes:
Gaige gives birth between 17-04-1844 and 16-04-1845. Hilbert says born about 1845. Winter says died about age 17. The New York Clipper of 17 May 1862 says he died 'in the 18th year of his age', which presumably means age 17.
