George Steuart Hume
Dr George Steuart Hume, also known as ''George Home'', (1747–1787) was a Maryland physician and landowner who emigrated to Scotland before the American Revolutionary War. Born George Hume Steuart in Maryland, he left for Scotland in 1758, where he studied Medicine, changing his name to his maternal name of Hume in order to inherit his family's substantial Scottish estates.〔Nelker, 24〕
==Early life==
Hume was born in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, in 1747, the eldest son of planter and physician George Hume Steuart (1700–1784), and Anne Digges.〔 As the eldest son he stood to inherit the family plantation of Dodon in Maryland, but the coming of the Revolutionary War forced his father to divided his property between his sons.〔Nelker, 131, memoirs of Richard Sprigg Steuart.〕 Hume was eventually to inherit the Scottish estates, with the Maryland lands being divided between his brothers, now loyal to the fledgling United States of America. These however were substantial; through his father he inherited the estates of Ballachallan, Argaty and Annat. These estates were held under entail,〔Nelker, 120, 〕 〔Barty, Alexander B, ''Argaty, its Lairds and its Barony''〕 and Steuart changed his name to Hume (also spelt "Home") in order to be able to inherit.〔
