County/State: Chester Dist., SC

Location: Black Stocks P.O.

Page #: 037

Year: 1860

Dr. John Douglass was born in Salem County, South Carolina and graduated
from Medical School at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in
1805. He returned to South Carolina to practice, and was renowned for his
early brain surgery. He was the first to successfully remove a kidney.
John Douglass was elected to the South Carolina House and Senate, and
served as a delegate to the Nullification Convention of 1822-23. All four
of his sons became physicians. John, the eldest, died in 1855, but the
father and all three surviving sons served during the Civil War. Tommie
was captured and imprisoned at Johnson's Island, Ohio; Wade was killed at
Wilcox Station, near Petersburg; and Wes came through unhurt.
Dr. Douglass married Mary Letherd Lunsford, the only child of Swanson
Lunsford of Virginia. Swanson Lunsford came South as a Captain in Lee's
Legion during the Revolution. He is buried on the State House grounds in
Columbia.

"As early as 1836 Dr. John Douglass, of Chester, S.C., trephined for
epilepsy in a lad 12 years old, the result of a blow on the head- the
convulsions stopped and returned later. In 1839 he trephined a boy aged
16 for mental derangement, the result of a blow on the head fifteen years
before. The relief in this case was permanent. In 1847 he again operated
for convulsions with entire relief. . . . Dr Douglass consequently
deserves to be ranked among the first of those who trephined for the cure
of this disease, not only in South Carolina, but in America, and as such
deserves great credit, which has not hitherto been accorded to him."
North Carolina Medical Journal, 15 June, 1893.

"George Wade was one of the earliest citizens of Columbia. He had
been born in North Carolina and had moved to Lancaster County, from which
section he had entered the Revolution as captain of a company. In
Columbia he became owner of many squares of land, especially in the
southwestern section; his home is said to have been near the northwest
corner of Main and Green Streets. He was one of the incorporators of the
Columbia Male academy and of the Presbyterian church and in 1797 one of
the town commissioners. His wife, Mary McDonald, died August 22, 1779. He
married again Mrs. Martha Center, widow of Nathan Center (died in 1783),

said, in the Taylor graveyard; his grave is unmarked." History of
