George F. Padelford was born October 1827 in Malahide, Middlesex Co., Canada [Swanson, Viola (Ashman), Autobiographies of Fox Valley Pioneers, (Elgin, IL: Elgin Genealogical Society, 1981), 139.]

He was the son of Manly Padelford (b. 1778 in Taunton, MA; d. 1848 in Elgin, IL) and Thankful Crapo (b. 1780 in Freetown, MA; d. 1862 in Elgin IL). George moved with his family to Elgin, IL, in 1843; he went California shortly after 1850, and was recorded there in the 1860 census. From there he seems to have moved to Nevada--other than the accounts of his founding Elko in 1868 or 1869 I haven't found any further reference to him.
