George Stewart (surgeon)

George Stewart (1752 - 8 June 1813)[2] was the president of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) in 1792 and in 1799.

His mother was Jane, daughter of Benjamin Wallace, of Ramelton, County of Donegal; she was Alexander Stewart's second wife.

[2] Stewart was twice married; firstly to Frances Anne, daughter of William Stewart, of Killymoon, County of Tyrone, who for some time represented that county in the Irish Parliament; secondly to Elizabeth Mitchell, a Dublin lady.

[2] Stewart being well connected, having agreeable manners and much surgical skill, soon acquired an extensive practice amongst the upper classes.

On 21 June 1813, the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, on the motion of Abraham Colles, resolved to help to perpetuate his memory by placing a marble bust of him in their principal hall.
