On page 33 I found George Gilmer listed as Apothecary. I like to add this person to project.
Dr. George Gilmer
The name Pasteur is now invested with world-wide special interest tiirough the recent scientific discoveries of the eminent French chemist inalleviationofthedreadmalady,hydrophobia. Acuriosityastohis descent may be pardonable. It may be that he springs from the same conscientious strain as the refugee of the text. Rev. James Pasteur appears as " lecturer" for Norfolk parish, Norfolk county, in 1754. (Perry's Church Papers of Virginia, page 413.) William Pasteur, a descendant in the second generation, probably of the refugee, was, in 1752, an apprentice with Dr. George Gilmer (surgeon, physician and apothecary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the ancestor of the distin- guished Virginia family of the name), and served as a surgeon in the Virginia line during the Revolutionary war.
