Rode with cousin Frank Coe (Benjamin Franklin Coe) and Billy the Kid (William Bonney)in the Lincoln County Wars of New Mexico.
Along with his cousin, Frank, George Coe moved to Lincoln and got a place on the Ruidoso where he made friends with Dick Brewer, Tunstall, and Billy the Kid. He was drawn into the Lincoln County War on the side of Tunstall and McSween (losing his trigger finger in the shootout at Blazer’s Mill). After the war he left Lincoln returning in 1884 once the trouble died down. He spent the rest of his life in New Mexico as a farmer.
