Individual Note

"William Pasteur, a descendant in the second generation, probably of the refugee, was, in 1752, an apprentice with Dr. George Gilmer (surgeon, physician and apothecary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the ancestor of the distinguished Virginia family of the name), and served as a surgeon in the Virginia line during the Revolutionary war."

  • Dr. William Pasteur died March, 1791. In his Will he mentions his wife Elizabeth Pasteur, his nephew William Pasteur, his niece Anne Smith, and his sister Ann Craig, wife of Thomas Craig. Mrs. Pasteur died in 1792 intestate, and the fact that her sister Mary Stith, who survived till 1816 was her sole distributee would indicate that any children which she and her husband Dr. William Pasteur, might have had, had pre-deceased her.
