He was among the founders of the National Life Insurance Company in 1848〔 and a member of the Episcopal Church and was among the founders of the Christ Episcopal Church in Montpelier. George was baptized and attended Sunday school there. George had two older brothers and a younger sister.〔(Mike Lipsey, a genealogical entry for Julius Yemans Dewey and Mary Perrin )〕

When he was fifteen years old he went to the Norwich Military School.〔 The school, better known as Norwich University, had been founded by Alden Partridge and aimed at giving cadets a well-rounded military education.
