About George Hume

George Hume, also spelled Home, was a Scottish-born American surveyor and colonial official, known for his extensive land surveys in Virginia, particularly in the region that would become Culpeper County. A Jacobite exile following the 1715 rebellion, he immigrated to Virginia in 1721 and became a prominent surveyor for Orange, Frederick, Spotsylvania, and Culpeper counties. Hume mentored a young George Washington in surveying from 1748 to 1749, shaping his early career. A cousin of Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood, Hume's precise mapping facilitated Virginia's colonial expansion and settlement.
