George Griswold Frelinghuysen (May 9, 1851 – April 21, 1936) was an American patent lawyer, and president of P. Ballantine & Sons Company, a New Jersey brewery.[1]

Biography

He was born in Newark, New Jersey, the son of Frederick Theodore Frelinghuysen and Matilda Elizabeth Griswold. He graduated from Rutgers College in 1870, received his Bachelor of Laws from Columbia University Law School in 1872, and was admitted to the New Jersey and New York bars in 1872 and 1876 respectively. He became a patent lawyer, eventually working for and becoming President of Ballantine. At its peak, Ballantine was the fourth largest brewery in the United States.[1]

George married Sara Linen Ballantine on April 26, 1881.[2] Sara was the granddaughter of Peter Ballantine, the New Jersey brewer; and the daughter of Peter Hood Ballantine (1831–1882).
