His parents came to Morgan County in 1824, and after about eight years' residence in Brown Township, removed to Hendricks County, where they lived the remainder of their days, the father dying in September, 1861, in the seventy-ninth year of his age, and the mother in August, 1865, in the sixty-eighth year of her age. George was reared upon a farm, at the subscription school learned something of reading, writing and arithmetic, and lived with his parents until twenty-eight years of age, when, on December 24, 1848, he married in Monroe Township, Morgan County, to LYDIA ELLIOTT, daughter of ALFRED ELLIOTT, also a native of North Carolina, and by this marriage he has had born to him eleven children, the first of whom died in infancy not named. The others were JACOB (died at the age of seven years), MARY, CAROLINE, ALFRED, WILLIAM, CATHARINE, JOHN, ALVARO (died), GEORGE and LEONARD R. Both Mr. and Mrs.. F. are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Mr. F. is a member of the I. O. O. F. at Mooresville. He removed from Guilford Township, Hendricks County to Brown Township,Morgan County, in August, 1858, where he purchased and settled upon the farm he has since owned and occupied. He was one of the incorporators of the Mooresville "Monitor". He and his wife inherited from their respective parents a small sum of money, and the rest of their possessions have been acquired by their united industry. He owns at present a splendid farm of 200 acres, mostly in cultivation, well improved, stocked and equipped for agricultural purposes. In politics, he is a Republican. He is an ardent temperance man and an advocate of prohibition. He is a good, substantial citizen, held in high esteem by his neighbors and those who come in contact with him.
