Andrew Jackson George was born about 1812 according to some records, and about 1821, according to other records. It is believed he was the son of Benjamin George and Rachel (last name unknown).
Andrew married Mary Jeanett Bollinger about 1841, in Searcy County, Arkansas. Mary Bollinger was born about 1824, in Johnson County, Illinois, the daughter of William Bollinger and Mary Cornett.
Andrew and Mary settled in Izard County, Arkansas, prior to 1842. Their first child was born in Izard County about 1842. Andrew paid personal property taxes in Izard County in 1843. The family appears on the 1850 Izard County census, living in Rocky Bayou Township next door to his widowed sister-in-law, Nancy George, and very near his widowed mother, Rachel. Andrew was a farmer. He is listed as 28 years old on the census.
Mary died before 1876. Andrew married Mrs. Nancy Isom, on February 21, 1876, in Stone County, Arkansas. Nancy was born about 1828, in Kentucky, according to census records and about 1831, according to her marriage license.
Andrew and Nancy appear on the 1880 Marion County, Arkansas, census in Buffalo Township. They are living next door to Richard Holden, whose first wife was Andrew's niece, Martha C. George. Living on the other side of Andrew is his son Robert and family. Listed on the census with Andrew and Nancy are Andrew's children Andrew, age 15, and Nancy, age 12. Also listed on the census are three children who are termed "orphan" and were born in Arkansas. They are Marian George, 14; Mary George, 11; and James George, 9. These were probably Andrew's grandchildren. The 1880 census shows that Andrew was engaged in mining at that time.
Andrew died between 1892 and 1899, in Marion County, Arkansas.
