About this entry:
Thomas Nelson Jr. was part of Virginia's delegation to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, where he presented the Virginia Resolutions and became one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He came home in the spring of 1777. During the Revolution he neglected his business affairs and pledged much of his own money to the war effort. His finances never recovered.
