NELSON, Thomas, Jr. (1738-1789). Document signed ("Thos Nelson Jr"), York County, Virginia, 20 September 1773. Also signed by Virginia politician and military officer Cole DIGGES.

One page, 202 x 326mm (mounted, a few fold splits at the margins resulting in some loss of text, light scattered browning). Mounted and framed.

Appointing William Digges as Sheriff of the County of York. William Digges (1742-1804) and Cole Digges, the signatory of this appointment, were cousins; their grandfather, also named Cole Digges, helped establish Yorktown, Virginia, and spent two decades on the Virginia Governor's Council after representing the now-defunct Warwick County in the House of Burgesses. Both William and the younger Cole would later represent the same county in the Virginia House of Delegates, and William Digges would later represent the county during the Virginia Ratification Convention of 1788. Provenance: Anderson Galleries, 9-10 January 1935, lot 527 – Arthur J. Stegall Jr. Collection.
