From Crippen Ancestry by Creig Crippen.

All his life George Rush Crippen remained a Republican and an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He served as town clerk of Rutland Township and as school director for eight years. His son considered him a gentlemen farmer, a well respected citizen who frequently acted as advisor to neighbors and friends. The Genealogical and Personal History of Northern Pennsylvania describe him:

"George Rush Crippen has behind him a long line of splendid colonial and revolutionary ancestry, of which any American may justly be proud. His forbearers helped to maintain law and order in the colony of Massachusetts; they fought the Indians, the French, the English, in both the war of the revolution and that of 1812, upheld the moral and religious element at all times and assisted in conquering the wilderness and building homes for themselves and others. Mr. Crippen is the sixth generation since Jabez Crippen came to America, and his children are the seventh, a distinctive record indeed.".
