"Among Mr. Ewart's early friends was, Dr. Maxwell Garthshore of London, with whom he maintained a regular epistolary correspondence till his death. This distingnished physician was son to the Rev. Mr. Garthshore, minister of Kirkcudbright. He married Miss M'Guffog, heiress of Rusco, by whom he became proprietor of that estate. They had an only son of great promise, who predeceased both parents. Dr. Garthshore died in 1812, at the age of 80. He was very wealthy, and so extremely charitable that he commonly spent about L. 1000 per annum in acts of beneficence. He was not the author of any literary work, though a man of great literary eminence; but he contributed several articles on professional subjects to the Royal Society of London and to Medical Journals."
