George married an unknown first wife and had two children [Alice Tackett (1854-1934)|Alice] and Marcus.  He married again in 1861.

On Apr 2, 1860 three Tackett brothers went to the land office in Helena to purchase land in Arkansas County.

As "George L Tackett of Phillips County", he entered [http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/Detail.asp?Accession=AR1760%5F%5F%2E377&Index=7&QryID=64266%2E45&DetailTab=2 160 acres by Cash Entry] at NW S33-T6S-R2W.   He also enters 160 acres at NE S32-T6S-R2W, again by Cash Entry.  However on this document he calls himself "George L Tackett of Arkansas County".
