George H. Steuart, great-grandfather }} William Frederick Steuart (1816–1889) was a Maryland-born medical doctor who served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He was a cousin to the Confederate general George H. Steuart. After the war he served as resident physician at the Maryland Hospital for the Insane. Early lifeSteuart was born on January 1, 1816 in West River, Anne Arundel County, the son of Maryland physician Charles Calvert Steuart and his wife Anne Fitzhugh Biscoe.[1] On 27 February 1840 he married Anne Hall, the daughter of Henry Hall and Mary Stevenson, with whom he had a large family.[2] Civil WarLike other members of the Steuart family (his brother, George Biscoe Steuart (1817-1881) also served in the CSA)[3], Steuart was sympathetic to the Southern cause. On the outbreak of war, he found himself obliged to flee his home state of Maryland, which remained in the Union, to join the rebellion.[4] As a Confederate sympathiser he had been closely watched by the authorities in Maryland. One of his sons was arrested and imprisoned, and shot dead while attempting to escape, hardening Steuart's own views against the Union.[4] Steuart and his wife fled their home state and joined the Confederate cause with around $20,000 in paper and precious metal which they smuggled out of Maryland, rolling up bills of exchange and hiding them in their belongings. They promptly invested their small fortune in Confederate bonds, so certain were they of Southern success in the war.[4] Steuart served as a surgeon in the 3rd North Carolina Infantry Regiment, a unit that formed part of the brigade commanded by his cousin, General George Hume Steuart.[5] His assistant surgeon was Thomas Fanning Wood, whose detailed account of the regiment's wartime experience would be published in 2000 by the University of Tennessee Press. Despite being "esteemed by officers and men" in the regiment, it appears that army life was too much for him, as the "rigors of march" and the "hardships of camp" [4]eventually obliged him to apply to be posted away from front line duty.[6] This may have been due to his age; Steuart was around 50 years of age when he joined the Southern armies.[6] He was replaced by Dr B M Cromwell, formerly of the 1st North Carolina Infantry Regiment, whose first service was at the Battle of Payne's Farm. [4]. After the WarAfter the war Steuart became resident physician at the Maryland Hospital for the Insane,[7] a pioneering institution dedicated to the care of mental illness which had been founded largely thanks to the efforts of his cousin, Richard Sprigg Steuart. Steuart died on December 10, 1889 and was buried in Christ Church, Owensville, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.[1] FamilySteuart and his wife Ann had eleven children:[1]
