Charles Steuart

This is a companion to my previous nomination. Obviously a member of a prominent family about whom much is documented, but nothing makes Dr. Charles Steuart especially notable himself. Leoniceno (talk) 02:11, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

I suggest that Charles Steuart is of note in that, as a physician and a member of a planter family in Maryland before and during the Revolutionary war, his loyalties were divided between The Crown and to the fledgling United States. The American Revolution may in part be seen as a kind of Civil War, in many ways a fratricidal one in which families were divided. Steuart's family shows this very well; he himself was a Tory and yet joined the flying camp militia, and was on social terms with George Washington. So he helps to illustrate the very grey nature of loyalties during the Revolutionary War and is therefore part of an important historical context - Alex Williams —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asteuartw (talk • contribs) 07:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can't see any reason why this chap is particularly notable. A local notable maybe, but not sufficiently important for Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:18, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete appears to be genealogy - no evidence of historical significance. Eusebeus (talk) 20:22, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
