About William Nelson

William Nelson was an American merchant, planter and politician from Yorktown, Virginia. Having served more than two decades on the Virginia Council of State, he became the colony's acting governor between the death of royal governor Norborne Berkeley in mid-October 1770 and the arrival of Lord Dunmore, in October 1771. Arguably the most famous of the six men of the same name to serve in the Virginia General Assembly, he represented York County for about three years in the House of Burgesses before being advanced to the Council of State.
