George France settled in what is now Vanderburgh County, Ind., as early as 1810, and while living there enlisted in the war of 1812. In an early day he moved to Arkansas, there being but six- teen white families in the Territory at that time. Our subject came to this county in 1838, purchasing a farm in Boon Township. Soon after- ward he removed his parents here, where they both died, his father being kicked to death by a horse. The success with which his exertions have been met is a mark of justice. Beginning life a poor boy with a very limited education, he has struggled against poverty and under adverse circumstances until he now has a good farm, a comfortable home, besides having given a farm to each of his sons. Since arriving at years of maturity he has been a close observer, a good student, and in this way has become possessed of a fair business education. December 28, 1841, he was married to Nancy M. Ashley, of this county, by whom he is the father of seven children, three sons and two daughters yet living. Mr. France is one of Warrick County's best citizens, and is a firm supporter of Democracy. Mrs. France is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was named in honor of Capt. Jacob Warrick, and not after the county in which he now resides.
