| I’ve identified almost all of George Affleck’s relatives as listed here from one source: the Courant article that reported on George’s will after it was admitted to probate. George’s will specified how some of those relatives, but not all, were related, and it’s possible that he didn’t name all of his family members in his will (his brother Henry appears to have been excluded).
Also, George was married, but so far all I’ve learned is that he was widowed circa 1864. He did not remarry, and he had no children. |
| Brother of George Affleck; owner, Zion Hill Nursery, aka Park Street Nursery; moved (or retired) to Glastonbury, CT. Henry was a member of the Hartford County Horticultural Society, and he regularly exhibited plants and produce at society festivals. He was known for his Hovey Seedling Strawberries. In September 1859, he sold most of his nursery and possibly his house to O. D. Seymour. He continued to operate a nursery following this transaction, but at some point he and his family moved to Glastonbury. |
| Nephew of George Affleck; son of Henry Affleck; possibly followed his father and uncle into horticulture. William entered something he grew into an exhibition of the Hartford County Horticultural Society. |
| Niece of George Affleck; likely born in Scotland; lived possibly with or near her uncle. She lived at 13 Huntington Street at the time of George’s death, and she was married to Robert Marchant, a Hartford firefighter and florist who worked for George at Asylum Hill Nursery. Jane received one of the largest bequests of all of the family members mentioned in Affleck’s will. |

Upon retiring from the fire department, he continued to work at a florist, possibly running Asylum Hill Nursery or its successor. Married Jane Bogue, who was his second wife, and lived with her at 13 Huntington Street. |
