George French Strother (1783 – November 28, 1840) was a nineteenth-century politician, lawyer and slaveowner in Virginia and Missouri.
[1] Born in Stevensburg, Virginia, to prominent Culpeper County attorney French Strother (1739–1800) and his wife the former Lucy Coleman, George Strother attended the College of William and Mary.
After studying law, George Strother too was admitted to the bar, and commenced practice in Culpeper County, Virginia.
Strother won re-election in 1818 but resigned in February 1820, and his seat lay vacant until fellow Democratic Republican Thomas L. Moore was elected in November.
A nephew with the same name caused a sensation by stabbing a fellow lawyer from Virginia named Horatio Cozens to death in the courthouse over a political dispute on behalf of this George Strother.
