GEORGE FORD married Elizabeth Skaggs in Green County in 1840. He was born in Hardin County, Kentucky in about 1820. He lived in the Brush Creek area of Green County before moving to the Mt. Sherman area of LaRue County. He married to Mary E. Wathen in Green County in October of 1851. He was married a third time to Narcissa Davis, daughter of William P. Davis, in December of 1855.
He enrolled in the Union Army at age 42 on September 28, 1861 at Camp Sherman. He was a private in Company C, 15th Ky. Infantry. He was described as 5 ft. 9 inches tall, blue eyes, light hair, and fair skin. He was wounded at Stone Mountain, Tennessee (near Murfreesboro) on December 31, 1862. He received a gunshot wound in his left thigh near the knee. Due to his wound, he was discharged on May 3, 1863 .
