Notes
General:
"Dr. Hugh George Donaldson, once a prominent physician of Falmouth, was born in London, June 21, 1757, and came to Cape Cod when 19 years of age. At Falmouth he taught school, pursuing his professional studies at the same time with Dr. Weeks. At the time of a great small pox excitement he became convinced of the truth of Doctor Jenner's theory of vaccination and sent to London to that medical benefactor for vaccine virus and was the first to introduce it into practice here. To prove the efficacy of the treatment to those who were incredulous and prejudiced, he placed members of his own family in the small pox hospital after vaccinating them. He was much interested in the galvanic battery, then little used. He made one and experimented largely with it in his efforts to obtain knowledge of the wonderful power of electricity over disease. He died in 1814, of a malignant fever which prevailed in Falmouth at that time." Deyo, 1890
" Hugh George Donaldson (pupil and colleague of [Dr. Francis] Wicks, was born in London, England, on June 21, 1757, the son of Thomas Clement and Mary George. He is said to have run away from home because his father designed a military career for him and he wanted to become a physician. Hugh adopted the surname Donaldson before arriving at Falmouth in 1776: later, a son, Clement, by his second wife, bore the family name. Coming to Falmouth at the age of nineteen, he found the towns-folk suspicious that he might be a British spy, but he was taken in by the Squire Palmer family, with whom he stayed until his marriage in 1783. He taught school while pursuing medical studies under Wicks. The preceptee became a champion of his adopted country during the War for Independence, being in formal military service from July to November, 1780, as sergeant in Captain Matthias Tobey's company, Lieutenant Colonel Enoch Hallet's
666
regiment of troops detached to reinforce the Continental Army in Rhode Island.
Donaldson shared his preceptor's interest in variolation and vaccination. According to George N. Munsell,11 of Harwich (1890) :
... At the time of a great small pox excitement he became convinced of the truth of Doctor Jenner's theory of vaccination and sent to London to that medical benefactor for vaccine virus and was the first to introduce it into practice here. To prove the efficacy of the treatment to those who were incredulous and prejudiced, he placed members of his own family in the small pox hospital after vaccinating them.*
Munsell also recorded of Donaldson that "he was much interested in the galvanic battery, then little used. He made one and experimented largely with it in his efforts to obtain knowledge of the wonderful power of electricity over disease."
A respected townsman, Donaldson was a school-committee member during 1802-10, and attended the "House for Poor" from 1803 to 1812. With Wicks, he was a charter member of Marine Lodge, A.F. & A.M., when that body was organized in March, 1798. He served as first senior warden and secretary of the Lodge. Described as "a man of golden character," he was a leading member of the Falmouth Methodist Church, organized in 1808.
Donaldson married three times and sired 13 children. He was wed first, in 1783, to Chloe Dimmick (1761-1797) ; their fifth child, a son born on February 22, 1797, was named George Washington Donaldson. The doctor's second wife, whom he married in 1800, was Susannah Snow (1773-1806). and his third wife, wed in 1807, was Hannah Doane Hatch (1774-1848). Donaldson's house and office stood on East Main Street in Falmouth, at the site of the present Surrey Room.12 He was an amateur silversmith, as his still extant self-made initialed teaspoon attests. Donaldson's chaise in which he made his rounds is now owned by the Falmouth Historical Society. He died of "a malignant fever which prevailed in Falmouth at the time" on June 20, 1812. and was buried beside his wives in the Burying Ground on Mill Road, where headstones mark the graves.
