George was found in the census records of Buchanan County in 1850 through 1870. His occupation was listed as School Teacher. He was named as an heir in his father's will of 1863-1869. He seemed to be considered a respectable citizen, because in a letter that Kit Karson wrote to General Fisk on 11 jun 1864, George D. Tolle was referred to as a reliable person to contact for verification of his (Kit's) claims about conditions of that area during the Civil War. He was also mentioned in the Draper Collection, and some Staggs probates. It isn't known at this time just when he died, or where he is buried.

He died 14 Nov 1839 and was buried in the Tolle cemetery on Route 1237, in Lewis County, Kentucky. In 1840 there was a Susan Tolle living next to Stephen who may have been the widow of Thomas Newton Tolle, and in 1845 an Eliza S. Tolle married George Purcell, in Mason County, Kentucky.
