**********************************************************************

Mr. Dillard was born in Monroe county, Tennessee, December 4, 1826, and
is the son of William and Sarah Dillard.  When he was eleven years of
age his parents emigrated to Greene county, Missouri, and settled upon
section 8, township 59, and range 29, where George grew to manhood, and
where he has always lived since coming to Missouri, with the exception
of three years service in the army.  In 1862 he was commissioned as 
captain of enrolled militia, and served as such until the war closed. 
He was engaged the most of the time in the defense of Springfield, and
keeping the "bushwhackers" out of the country as far as practicable.
Captain Dillard was married upon the 31st of May, 1849, to Miss Eliza 
J., daughter of J. H. and Gabella Gibson.  Their union has been blest
with nine children, six of whom are now living.  Captain Dillard is one
of the best farmers and most enterprising gentlemen of this section, 
and no man is held in higher esteem in the county than he.
