George Wood "Squire" Ebbert (June 10, 1810 – October 1, 1890) was a mountain man and early settler in the Oregon Country.

[2] At age thirteen Ebbert became an apprentice machinist, but left with only three months to go of the seven-year apprenticeship to elope to St. Louis, Missouri with a woman against his mother's wishes.

[1] After a short time farming there, he sold his land on the French Prairie in 1841 to Andre Longtain for 100 bushels of wheat.

[4] Following the Whitman Massacre in late 1847, the Provisional Legislature of Oregon authorized Joe Meek to travel east to Washington, DC, to ask for the creation of a federal territory with the start of the Cayuse War.

[1] Ebbert was one of the first purchasers of town lots in Hillsboro, Oregon, along with Ralph Wilcox, David T. Lenox, Alvin T. Smith, and others in the early 1850s.
