Hi-
Here's a summary of information from Dockerys of Dixie, 2nd edition regarding a "George Dockery." Although this individual doesn't match the birth/death information of your George, it's possible that the George Dockery you're researching was connected to the family- perhaps he was a grandson. The information about this family shows that some migrated to Tennessee - so hang onto the information in case you make a connection with this particular family.
Good luck!
