george h. steuart -lrb- politician -rrb-

george hume steuart , -lrb- 1700 -- 1784 -rrb- was a scottish physician , tobacco planter , and loyalist politician in colonial maryland .
born in perthshire , steuart emigrated to maryland in around 1721 , where he benefited from proprietarial patronage and was appointed to a number of colonial offices , eventually becoming a wealthy landowner with estates in both maryland and scotland .
however , he was forced by the outbreak of the american revolution to decide whether to remain loyal to the crown or to throw in his lot with the american rebels .
in 1775 steuart sailed to scotland , deciding at age 75 that `` he could not turn rebel in his old age '' .
he remained there until his death in 1784 .
