THOMAS EWELL
Edit ProfileEducation
He studied medicine under Dr. George Graham at Dumfries, Dr. John Weems in Washington, and Dr. Rush at the University of Pennsylvania, publishing at graduation a thesis entitled Notes on the Stomach and Secretion (Philadelphia, 1805).
Career
Through President Jefferson, his father’s friend and classmate at William and Mary, he entered the naval hospital in New York, and from January 16, 1808, to May 5, 1813, was a naval surgeon, assigned to duty in Washington. He was one of four surgeons who reported on the reorganization of the navy medical service (American State Papers, Naval Affairs, vol. I, 1834, pp. 270-73). Until 1819 he lived in the Stoddert home in Georgetown; later he built a house at 14 Jackson Place, Lafayette Square, in Washington. His resignation from the navy occurred soon after his father-in-law’s death, and subsequently he administered the Stoddert property, which included the upper bridge across the Anacostia River, destroyed during the British invasion, and a gunpowder mill at Bladensburg. Ewell was a man of distinguished professional attainments and marked talent for research and invention, with a turn for ridicule, however, and convivial habits which weakened his health. On this account he moved shortly before his death to his country property “Belleville, ” Prince William County, Virginia, and afterward to Centerville, Virginia, where he died.
