George Alfred Pillsbury (August 29, 1816 – July 17, 1898) was a businessman and miller associated with the formation of the Pillsbury Company. He was also a Republican politician active in both New Hampshire and Minnesota.
==Early life and career==
Pillsbury was born in Sutton, New Hampshire in 1816 to John Pillsbury and Susan Pillsbury (née Wadleigh). Both were the descendants of English settlers who had been active political and civic leaders in New England. Pillsbury attended the local schools until the age of 18 when he moved to Boston, Massachusetts to work as a clerk in a store. After one year, he returned to Sutton and started a business with his cousin John C. Pillsbury. In 1840, he moved to Warner, New Hampshire to work in a store under John H. Pearson. After working there for about a year, he purchased the store outright to run on his own.
In 1841, Pillsbury married Margaret S. Carlton. Together they had three children: Charles A. Pillsbury, Mary Addie (1849-1850) and Frederick Carlton Pillsbury (1852-1892).〔
Except for a brief period working in Boston, Pillsbury remained in Warner until 1851. During his time there, he was elected to the town's board of selectmen, served as postmaster and town treasurer, and also served in the New Hampshire General Court from 1850 to 1851. In 1851 he moved the family to Concord, New Hampshire where he was appointed to oversee the construction of the county jail.
