About Thomas Nelson
Thomas "Scotch Tom" Nelson (1677–1747) was an immigrant from England who became a wealthy merchant at Yorktown in the Colony of Virginia. His children married into the First Families of Virginia, achieving not only high social rank but political power, so he is considered the progenitor of one of the First Families of Virginia. The house he built at Yorktown, now named to honor several generations of men sharing the same name, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
