His father's portion of the sizeable inheritance had dwindled considerably; although having seen some success as a captain of a privateer preying on French merchantmen in the Caribbean, Christopher left him very little – a few personal items and a Negro man, who died within a year. But George's grandfather rectified the situation, favoring him in his will when he died in 1750, leaving him at the age of eleven with means of his own.
