I have not been able to verify that he was the son of Johan Fredrich. 9/17/2017. Find-a-Grave gives no info.

George Frederick, born September 26, 1788, died January 20, 1871. The maiden name of his mother was Ebert, and- she came from the vicinity of Mountainville, Lehigh county. He also had a half-brother by the name of Joseph Frederick, who visited him about 1840, coming from Philadelphia, and he could not speak German. By occupation George Frederick was a wheelwright. In 1830, while living at Center Valley, he constructed the water wheel for the Geisinger grist mill. He came to the latter place from Steinsburg, in Milford Township, Bucks County, where his two youngest children were born. In 1831 he moved upon the Packer farm, situated in Whitehall township, which embraced one hundred acres of land. A large portion of this land is now covered by West Catasauqua and Fullerton. On the Frederick farm stood an historic stone house which was built by Jacob Yundt in 1757, and this George Frederick occupied from 1831 to 1848, when he moved to Catasauqua. His son George succeeded him as the occupant of this house and also in the cultivation of the farm. The house was razed by the railroad company in 1892. During the French and Indian War, from 1760 to 1763, it was used as a fort. It was substantially built, had thick walls with high, pointed, gable ends, a slanting roof, and was a landmark for many years.

Mr. Frederick was a prominent man of his district. He served as justice of the peace of Whitehall Township, and upon his removal to Catasauqua, he held the same office there a number of years. In 1836 he was elected to represent the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives, and again in 7842. He affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, and was an active member of the Lutheran church at Shoenersville, serving as deacon and elder many years. He married Hannah Haas, born April 1, 1791, died at Catasauqua, March 8, 1853, and they are buried in Fairview cemetery at Catasauqua. Mrs. Fredcrick was the daughter of Conrad and Hannah (Kratzer) Haas, who came from the vicinity of Topton, Pennsylvania; the former was born February 20, 1755, died August 30, 1819, the latter was born August 16, 1760, and died October 29, 1843.


p. 277 George Frederick moved to Catasauqua with his family in 1828, and occupied the newly acquired farm, and the stone house that stood on the West Side, below the Hercules Metal Works, close by the L. V. R. R. tracks. Mr. Frederick was a man of some literary ability, and gifted with sound sense and a good judgment He was elected Justice of the Peace for North and South Whitehall Township, May 21, 1834. In October, 1836, he was elected a member of the House of Representatives of the State of Pennsylvania. Upon his return from the Legislature he retired from the farm and moved to Biery 's-Port, now Front Street, below Union, and his son George took charge of the farm. From 1853 to 1855 and from 1858 to 1863 he served as Justice of the Peace in town. He died January 20, 1871. His wife, Hannah, died March 8, 1853, and hers was the first grave dug in the grave-yard at St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran Church. The old grave-yard has long since been converted into a beautiful lawn.
