He settled on a large grant of land in Colleton Co., S.C. 1735: Mr John Stewart came to S.C. to practice surgery. Being without money & starving he lived with the Rev. Hugh Stewart for some time. Rev. Hugh Stewart introduced him to William Swinton 'the surveyor' who bought him a house. William recommended John to his brother Hugh Swinton who had a large stock of medicines & medical instruments. Hugh set him up in a shop in Georgetown, S.C. Hugh Swinton had to go to Charlestown, returning after a month to find talk of a relationship between his wife and John. In her father's hearing, Hugh's daughter said to John Stewart "Doctor you can't sleep along with Mama in Papa's bed now Papa's come home". Confused & tired, Hugh threw himself on his bed. As he lay there Stewart offered to bleed him (contary to practice in such cases). Suspecting Stewart might prick an artery, Hugh refused. Hugh's wife came in crying, but then going into the hall was seen by Hugh, smiling at Stewart. He then went into the field & complained at the lack of work done by the slaves in his absence. He was told that the reason was the frequent absences of his wife with Stewart in a canoe where they were seen hugging & kissing. The house servants also confirmed their 'immodest' behaviour. Hugh's wife denied these accusations, threatening the negroes that they would be burned for telling lies. The next day she confessed that John Stewart had behaved towards her in a "vile, Geneol. of Swint. Fam. p. 6, 15, & Family Record.

Next Hugh tackled Stewart about these allegations. Stewart confessed that he deserved death for his actions, then in the height of rage, Hugh cut off one of Stewart's ears. Later he had Stewart carried into his house and at his own expense, employed a surgeon to cure him. Some 20 days later Hugh gave Stewart a horse and provisions plus a guide to send him to Virginia. Stewart got as far as Cape Clear, S.C. & decided to stay there and pursue his practice. Later Stewart contracted the 'fever' occasioned by drinking and died. Richard Wright, Chief Justice of South Carolina, had now issued a warrant for Hugh Swinton's arrest, claiming that the crime of cutting off an ear was punishable by death. Knowing that the evidence of negroes was not acceptable in his defense, Hugh decided to go to England in order to ask the King's mercy rather than surrender himself for trail. In 1737 he filed a petition in London. The petition was referred on19 April, 1738 to the Attorney-General for his opinion. (a) He feared that the punishment for the offence in South Carolina would be death & so had gone to England seeking the Kings pardon Page 16
