    Physician

    County/State: Chester Dist., SC

    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.
