George William Doby was born c.1807 in South Carolina. The U.S. census shows that he lived in Lancaster, South Carolina in 1830 and 1840. The birth dates and places of birth of his two eldest children show that he was in South Carolina at least until 1841.

George married Joanna Caroline Price, daughter of Josiah D. and Jane (Simpson) Price. With their eldest child, William Simpson Doby, being born in c.1835, the year of marriage for George and Joanna was probably 1834.

According to the 1850 census for Marengo, Alabama, George and Joanna's youngest child, John Calhoun Doby, was born in Alabama c.1846. This suggests that George had emigrated from South Carolina to Alabama at some time between 1841 and 1846.

By the enumeration of the 1860 census, George and Joanna had moved to the Enterprise Postal District of Clarke, Mississippi.

George died on 24 Oct 1871, according to the inscription on his headstone. His place of death was most probably Enterprise, Clarke, Mississippi where he lived.
