this tree is worth looking at. either they have George's origin in Alsace, France, or have him confused with another man named John. Could his name have been John George? Alsace went back and forth between France and Germany for a while. Was he of German extraction and was John his baptismal name and George the name he used from day to day? They put the couple in the same county in Iowa, so if it isn't your man, then it is probably a relative and probably from the same place in France.

edited to add: and it would explain why George's wife Mary in 1860 is too young to be the mother of the first 2 children.
