He married Mary Woodburn in 1765 who was noted for her skill in running their farm in George's long service during the American Revolutionary War.  With news of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, George Reid marched with his militia company to Boston, Massachusetts and commanded a company of the 1st New Hampshire Regiment at the Battle of Bunker Hill.  George Reid was with the 1st NH during the Invasion of Canada, the Battle of Trenton and the Battle of Princeton.  In the Spring of 1777 George Reid was appointed Lt. Col. of the 2nd New Hampshire Regiment.  With the capture of Col. Nathan Hale at the Battle of Hubbardton by the British Army, George Reid took command of the 2nd NH and led them during the rest of the Saratoga Campaign, the Battle of Monmouth and the Sullivan Expedition of 1779.  With the consolidation of the three New Hampshire regiments in 1783, Col. Reid was appointed commander of the combined unit until its disbandment on January 1, 1784. The Battle of Hubbardton was an engagement in the Saratoga campaign of the American Revolutionary War fought in the village of Hubbardton, Vermont.  Vermont was then a disputed territory sometimes called the New Hampshire Grants, claimed by New York, New Hampshire, and the newly organized and not yet recognized but de facto independent government of Vermont.  On the morning of July 7, 1777, British forces, under General Simon Fraser, caught up with the American rear guard of the forces retreating after the withdrawal from Fort Ticonderoga.  It was the only battle in Vermont during the revolution.  (The Battle of Bennington was fought in what is now Walloomsac, New York.) Fort Mott, located in Pittsford, Vermont, was a picket fort used by American militiamen during the American Revolutionary War.  The fort was constructed by the citizens of Pittsford as a sanctuary in case of approaching British troops or hostile Native Americans.  The Battle of Hubbardton was the only major battle fought in Vermont during the war.  Just before the battle, fought on July 7, 1777, the townspeople of Pittsford had to evacuate the town.  Those that returned decided to build the fort for their own protection; construction was finished later that same year.  It is located on the east bank of the Otter Creek, which provided the fort's fresh water.  It was only later named Fort Mott, after, the fort's commander, John Mott. Seth Warner (May 17, 1743 [O.S. May 6, 1743] – December 26, 1784) was a Revolutionary War officer from Vermont who rose to rank of Continental colonel and was often given the duties of a brigade commander.

Nathan Hale (September 23, 1743 – September 23, 1780) was an American Revolutionary War Officer.  He was born in Hampstead, New Hampshire, son of Moses and Elizabeth (Wheeler) Hale.  In his teens he moved with his family to Rindge, New Hampshire.  He married Abigail Grout, daughter of Col. John and Joanna (Boynton) Grout of Lunenberg, Mass."At the organization of the town of Rindge in 1768, Nathan was chosen the first constable of the town.  He was moderator of the annual town meetings in 1773, 1774 and 1775.  As early as 1774 he was captain of a company of 'minutemen' and on the alarm of the battle of Lexington, 19 April 1775, he led his company at once to the field.  Four day after he was commissioned major in Col James Reeds regiment, and thenceforward continued in active service until his capture."

Joseph "Quaker Meadows" McDowell, Jr. (1756 – 5 February 1801) was an American planter, soldier, and statesman from North Carolina.  He was known as "Quaker Meadows Joe" to distinguish him from his cousin Joseph "Pleasant Gardens" McDowell, who was also a legislator and American Revolutionary War officer from North Carolina.  The two men are not always clearly distinguished in historical records; both were in the 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain, one as a major leading the Burke County militia, and the other in a subordinate role as a captain.  Although "Quaker Meadows" Joe is usually hailed as the Major McDowell who was the hero of the battle, some descendants of "Pleasant Gardens Joe" maintained that it was their ancestor who led the Burke County militia, a claim which, according to the "Dictionary of American Biography", is contradicted by contemporary evidence.

He married Rebecca Scott (1740-1771) abt.  1763 in Frederick County, Virginia, and then married Mary Woodfield (1750 – 1834) in 1772, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
