George Baylor (January 17, 1752 – November 9, 1784)[1] was an officer in the Continental Army, serving throughout the American Revolutionary War.

Baylor was first aide-de-camp to George Washington, and brought the news of the Battle of Trenton to the Continental Congress.

He was later appointed to lead the 3rd Regiment of Continental Light Dragoons, which often acted as the escort for Martha Washington.

While commanding his Dragoons in September 1778, his forces were attacked on the night of the 28th as they slept in local homes and barns on Overkill Road in what is now River Vale, New Jersey.

Baylor never completely recovered from his injuries, and following the end of the war in 1783, he journeyed to Barbados to regain his health.
