Nelson family. Papers of the Nelson family [manuscript], 1739-1837.

Title: Papers of the Nelson family [manuscript], 1739-1837.

This microfilm collection contributed by various libraries and historical societies contains papers of the descendents of Thomas (Scotch Tom) Nelson who emigrated from Penrith, England, to Yorktown, Va., in the 1700s. The papers are mainly those by Thomas's son William (1711-1772) and William's son Thomas (1738-1789), though papers by other Nelson family members are also included. In addition to their duties of running a plantation, both Nelsons served the state of Virginia in many ways, William as president of the council and governor (1770-71) and Thomas as delegate to the Continental Congress (1775) where he signed the Declaration of Independence, commander of troops in the American Revolution, and governor (June-Nov. 1781). The collection reflects these roles, consisting primarily of legal documents (wills, deeds, etc.) and letters concerning business or political affairs. Papers from the Duke University Library include the indenture (1739) of a Thomas Nelson, a deed (1771) and will (1772) of William Nelson, a handwritten biographical sketch (11 p.) about Thomas Nelson (1738-1789) written by his grandson Thomas Jefferson Page, and a revolutionary war letter (1781) of Thomas's. Papers from the New York Public Library include a letter (1752) of William's concerning a financial agreement and a petition (1772) to Virginia Governor Dunmore written by Patrick Henry and co-signed by William and Thomas Nelson. Also included are ten letters (1776-1786) of Thomas's which recount proceedings of the Continental Congress, itemize for the state his travel expenses 1775-1777, ask for a full account of the counties' arms and military stores, and inform various generals about the movement of British troops and the availability of men and supplies. Papers from the American Philosophical Society, Philadelphia, include Thomas's American Revolution letters (1777-1781) to and from General George Weedon. Papers from the Harvard College Library cover a wide range of topics and include a letter (1791) from Thomas Jefferson which mentions a box of books contributed by William Nelson for "public use," a list (1774) of donations from Virginia for relief of the city of Boston, letters to and from Thomas Nelson (1781, 1788), and correspondence (1837) between the Page family and Samuel Smith regarding payment to Thomas's ancestors for money he loaned the state during the revolution. Papers from the University of Michigan include letters (1771) from William Nelson to an unnamed British army officer in New York concerning Virginia recruitment efforts. Also included are Thomas Nelson's letters (1781) to and from General Nathanael Greene and a letter (1781) congratulating him on his appointment as governor signed by prominent Virginians, including Edmund Randolph. Thomas Nelson's papers from the New York Historical Society include a letter (1776) concerning his appointment to a Board of War and a frantic group of twenty letters (Jan.-Feb. 1781) written to various generals in the midst of a British invasion of Virginia. Also included are letter (June- Aug. 1781) addressed to him as governor from the Marquis de Lafayette concerning provisions for Virginia's troops. Papers from the Historical Society of Pennsylvania include William Nelson's letter (1748) concerning the ethics of a particular financial arrangement and a letter (1771) written while governor concerning a liquor trade agreement with the Indians. Also included are two letters (1777, 1779) of Lt. Col. William Nelson.
