George Nye, of Germany, was a prominent farmer in Saline County, Missouri, where he owned and resided on his father’s old farm, near Laynesville. His father, Andrew Nye, emigrated from Germany in 1829 and settled in Ross County, Ohio, where he brought his family of four daughters and two sons, and his death occurred in that county in 1840, his widow surviving him until 1854, dying in Missouri.

George Nye remained under his parental roof until 1838, when he married Lucinda Warren in Chillicothe, Ohio. Lucinda’s people were natives of North Carolina, prominent and highly respected. George then began farming in Ross County, Ohio, which he continued very successfully until 1853 when he sold out and emigrated to Saline County, Missouri, coming on a steamboat, which landed at Miami. Here he rented a farm until 1858, when he purchased land near Laynesville, which he managed very successfully until 1888 when he was ushered into the silent land, owning at the time of his death over eight hundred acres, and he had given each of his sons one hundred and sixty acres. He was a very prosperous farmer and cattle man.

Andrew Nye 1810 - 1882
