Son of Andrew Jackson Whitman, native of New York, and Nancy, native of Ireland. He was also the nephew of the American poet Walt Whitman.

In 1865 George, age 4, was living with his widowed mother Nancy in Brooklyn and his two brothers James, age 6, and Andrew, age 1 year and 3 months.

George was buried in the same plot as his brother Andrew (d 1868) and father Andrew Jackson Whitman (d. 1863). The cemetery claims that 4 people are buried in the same plot, but no marker for any of the Whitman family could be found in the area.
