Dr William Foushee, 1st mayor of Richmond (1782). | Additional Description: To the memory of
Dr William Foushee. A Virginian by birth. A patriot in his principles. In his manners the accomplished gentleman. He was a distinguished physician and graduated at Edinburgh. So great was the confidence reposed in his skill and so bright and cheering was his countenance, even after the age of three score years and ten, that his very presence at the bed side of the suffering seemed to operate as a balmy medicine upon the heart of the sick.
He was born 26th October, 1749 and died 21st August, 1824.
