George W. Ford is a son of James H. and Catherine (Groseclose) Ford, and was born in Davis County, Iowa, in 1853. The father was born in Garrett County, Ky., in 1816, and the mother in Wythe County, Va., in 1823. When young both came to Schuyler County, where they married and settled upon a small farm, and spent the remainder of their lives in the county, with the exception of about eight years. They were among the very early settlers of the vicinity, and Mrs. Ford was one of the three young ladies who first came to the county. At the time that Texas was fighting for her independence Mr. Ford volunteered his services, but was never upon the scene of action. In politics he was Democratic in his views, but was also a strong Abolitionist. He was killed in 1862 by a party of bushwhackers.
George W. Ford was one of a family of eleven children, and when three months old was brought to Schuyler County by his parents, where he spent his youth upon the farm, and received a good English education. After attending the district schools he attended the State Normal at Kirksville, and then, after teaching one term, devoted his attention to farming. He now owns 700 acres of good land, well cultivated and improved, and devotes his time exclusively to agricultural pursuits. He resides upon the old homestead, which was settled in 1838. In 1879 he was united in marriage to Mary J. Mock, a daughter of Alfred Mock. Mrs. Ford was born in Putnam County, Mo., in 1854, and died in 1882. She was the mother of two children — Harvey A. and James T. In 1882 Mr. Ford married Martha D. Lucas, who was born in Schuyler County in 1860. This union has been blessed by three children: Jessie L., George J. and a child yet unnamed! In politics Mr. Ford is a Democrat, and in Masonry a member of Glenwood Lodge, No. 427.
