A farmer, George Dewey specialized in raising Spanish Merino sheep, and was one of the first who gave special attention to the improvement of sheep in Hanover. He purchased some of Consul Jarvis, of Weathersfield VT, who imported them from Spain. He was captain of militia, was largely interested in town affairs, and was a member of the County and State Agricultural Society.
In the 1850 Census for Hanover NH, George Dewey (44) was living with his wife, Laura Ardelia (40), his children: Edward (19), Henry Grosvenor (16), Laura Augusta (14), Mary Jane (12), Ellen Maria (8), Luke (6), his brother Amos (29) farmer by occupation, all of them born in New Hampshire, and his sister-in-law, Sarah Cummings Lord of Vermont (27).
His widow Laura, who survived him eighteen years, continued to conduct the farm with the assistance of Andrew McLean, a Scotchman, who was in the employ of Mr. Dewey and his widow over fifty years.
