Thomas M. Nelson

Thomas M. Nelson

Thomas Maduit Nelson (September 27, 1782 – November 10, 1853) was a nineteenth century congressman from Virginia.

Born in Oak Hill, Virginia, Nelson attended the common schools as a child. During the War of 1812, he was commissioned a captain to the 10th Infantry Regiment and was later promoted to major in the 13th and 18th Infantry Regiments. After the war, he was reduced back to a captain and eventually resigned from his commission on May 15, 1815. Nelson was elected a Democratic-Republican to the United States House of Representatives to fill a vacancy in 1816, serving until 1819.

He died near Columbus, Georgia at age 71 and was interred there in Linwood Cemetery.
