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.".

From Crippen Ancestry.
George Pine Crippen married Louisa Watson, the daughter of John and Sophronia (Rose) Watson of Ohio. John Watson and his wife were natives of Massachusetts. John Watson descended from a distinguished English family noted in England for centuries of brainy men. The first Watson to come to America crossed in 1672, settled near Salem, Massachusetts with his family and later drifted to New York. The Rose family, another substantial New England one, stood for honor and sobriety. John Watson moved his family to Ohio when it was comparatively new country, and there reared his family. Sophrona Watson, married a second time and had one child, Martha Rexford, who married Gideon Hodges. Martha Rexford Hodges and Louisa Watson Crippen corresponded for many years after Martha Rexford and Gideon Hodges relocated on farmland in Illinois. Sophronia's third marriage was to David Crippen.
