At an early age, George moved to Central City in Muhlenberg County Kentucky with his family. His father owned coal property and operated Dovey mines where his sons worked. One long-told tale relates the story of the “Dovey Robbery” which occurred in 1880. In anticipation of a big pay day, the James-Younger Gang planned to rob the Dovey store of the mine payroll. On October 15, 1880, Jesse James, Dick Liddil and Bill Ryan entered the store and ordered John’s son (some reports say it was George) to open the safe. Because the payroll shipment had been delayed, the armed thieves left with only $13 in cash and John’s engraved, gold watch. A few years later, after Jesse James was killed, Dovey’s watch was found among his possessions. Because the watch was engraved with the owner’s name, James’ wife located the family and returned the watch, requesting a receipt for the returned item.
