Mr. Harnage resided in Liberty County, 16th district, until 1825 when he moved to Decatur County with his brother-in-law, Jeremiah Shaw (Jr.), and others of the Shaw family. In 1832 or 1833 Mr. Harnage, Jeremiah Shaw, Daniel Shaw and their families moved back to Lowndes County through which they had migrated to Decatur. They settled in the present Ray City district of present Berrien County, in the same community where Martin Shaw, an older brother, had already settled. After living there about ten years George Harnage and family moved to Ware County and settled near the Lowndes County line, and he lived there until his death April 27, 1895.
In 1850, in the creation of Clinch out of Ware and Lowndes, Mr. Harnage and family were cut into the new county.
He was commissioned 1st Lieutenant in the 16th district militia of Liberty County, June 1st, 1825. He was a private in Capt. David R. Bryan's company of Lowndes County militia in the Indian War of 1838, and also served in Capt. Levi J. Knight's independent militia company.
Mr. Harnage and wife united with Pleasant Primitive Baptist Church by baptism about 1834, and in 1843 they transferred their membership to Wayfare Church, nearer their homes, and they remained members there until their deaths. For forty years prior to his death he was a deacon in Wayfare Church, being ordained about 1854. The exact date of his ordination is not shown by the church minutes. The minutes show that on August 1, 1872, he was at his own request relieved of the active duties of the deaconship on account of age and infirmities.
The son, Jeremiah Harnage, enlisted May 1st, 1862, in Company "G", 50th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, and was killed in action at the battle of Boonesboro, Maryland.
