George Bomford
George Bomford (1780–1848) was a distinguished military officer in the United States Army and an inventor and designer of weapons and defensive installations.
== Early life and education ==
George Bomford was born on Long Island, New York in 1780 during the American Revolutionary War, the son of a British officer, Thomas Bomford of the 60th Royal Artillery, and his wife.〔William Arba Ellis, ed., ''Norwich University, 1819-1911: Her History, Her Graduates, Her Roll of Honor,'' 3 vols., Montpelier: Grenville Dodge, 1911, v. 2, p. 67〕 His birth records do not indicate an exact date of birth nor the name of his father. Bomford later told his son James the information, who reported it in records at Norwich University.
By a chance meeting, Bomford befriended the first graduate of West Point Joseph Gardner Swift. Swift sought and received a "Cadet's Warrant" from General Henry Dearborn for his friend, and Bomford was appointed to West Point from the state of New York on 23 October 1804, despite the circumstances of his birth.〔(Ellery, ed., ''The memoirs of Gen. Joseph Gardner Swift'' (Worcester Mass.: F.S. Blanchard, 1890), p. 40. )- See note: NGSQ p. 284. There is an error in the stated date of 1803 made by Swift or in West Point records.〕
