Career
Born in Wilstedt, Bremen-Verden he immigrated to England in 1773 and later to the colony of New York where he became a merchant. Being a Loyalist, he left America after the American War of Independence and returned to England. In 1785, he returned to North America and settled in Quebec City.
Through endeavours that started with his first grocery store and extended to real estate operations, with money lending and discounting in between, Pozer succeeded in building a fortune over 30 years.
Among his many real estate possessions was the Aubert-Gallion Seigneurie that he bought in 1807. Ten years later, he settled in Aubert-Gallion 189 German immigrants.
Most of these immigrants died after a forest clearing spread into a wildfire. He gave the land to the Archdiocese of Quebec for the establishment of the parish of Saint-Georges.
The choosing of the name "Saint-Georges" is an hommage to George Pozer.
He is buried in Mount Hermon Cemetery in Sillery, Quebec.
