George N. McQuitty, a progressive and enterprising farmer and stockman of Big Creek township, is a native of Henry County. Mr. McQuitty was born August 3, 1879, a son of George W., and Mildred (Johnson) McQuitty. George W. McQuitty was also a native Missourian, born September 16, 1839, in Boone County. Mildred (Johnson) McQuitty was a native of Kentucky and a daughter of Robert R. Johnson, a Kentuckian, who was a pioneer settler of Missouri. The McQuitty family ranks among the early pioneer settlers of Missouri. George W. McQuitty, the father of George N., was a son of George W. McQuitty, a native of Kentucky, who was one of the very early settlers of Boone County, Missouri. He married Elizabeth Roland, also a native of Kentucky and a daughter of William Roland. George W. McQuitty, Sr., and his wife spent the remainder of their lives on a farm in Boone County, after settling there. George W., Jr., father of George N., was reared to manhood in Boone County, and received a good common school education - much better than the average boy of his time. When the Civil War broke out he cast his lot with the legions of the lost cause, enlisting in the Confederate Army in February, 1862, in Company C, 6th Missouri Infantry. He served under Colonel Irvin and participated in many important and hard-fought engagements. He was at the Battle of Corinth and Iuka and Grand Gulf. He was taken prisoner at the last-named place, but two months later was paroled. He then returned to his home in Boone County, where he remained until the close of the war. In 1867, George W. McQuitty came to Henry County and bought a farm in Big Creek township. He was well known as a prominent stockman and farmer. To George W. and Martha Mildred (Johnson) McQuitty were born the following children: W. T., who resides on the home farm; Mrs. C. E. Butcher, Big Creek township; George N., the subject of this sketch; Alice B., Fulton, Missouri; Mrs. C. F. Crews, Big Creek township; and Mrs. L. R. Mayes, Shawnee township, Henry County. By a former marriage of George W. McQuitty to Miss Lucinda Goslin of Boone County, who died October 25, 1870, the following children were born: J. R., who resides at Welch, Oklahoma, and Elizabeth, who married J. J. Stansberry. George N. McQuitty was reared on his father's farm and received his education in the Agricola public schools. He remained on the home farm with his parents until he was twenty-five years of age, when he engaged in farming on his own account, in which he has been successfully engaged to the present time. He operates two hundred eighty acres in Big Creek township, of which he is the owner. Mr. McQuitty is well known in Johnson County as one of its leading farmers and stockmen and a public spirited citizen. In February, 1905, George N. McQuitty was united in marriage with Miss Henrietta Hanna, a daughter of Dixon and Dora Hanna, the former now deceased, and the latter resides at Greeley, Colorado. Dixon and Dora Hanna were the parents of the following children: James A., Nettie, Otis and Ida, all residing at Greeley, Colorado, and Henrietta, wife of George N. McQuitty, the subject of this sketch. To Mr. and Mrs. McQuitty have been born the following children: Ora A., Mildred O., Dora E., George W., Morris M., Anna May and Richard Everett. The McQuitty family are well known and prominent in the community and George N. McQuitty is one of the substantial citizens of Henry County.
