William B. Giles seems to be the most important man politically
from Amelia County. He was born in Amelia in August 1762. He
was the son of William and Ann Branch Giles. He attended
Hampden Sydney College, then went to Princeton College where he
took with him a negro slave as a servant or attendant. He
graduated from Princeton in 1781. William studied law at
William and Mary College under Wythe. He practiced law in
Petersburg to the time he was elected to Congress in 1790.
He resigned from Congress in 1798 and was elected to the General
Assembly of Virginia. He went back to Congress in 1801 and
became an administration leader and as a debater, second to one
in Congress. As a debater he was ranked with the ablest men of
his time. He was associated with such famous men as Jefferson,
Madison, and Dexter. He was a friend and supporter of
Jefferson.
He was classed as a conservative, was a member of the Virginia
Constitutional Convention of 1829-1830 although he opposed his
{sic} convention. He did not hesitate to oppose the most
famous, such as Washington, Chief Justice Marshall, and Henry
Class. He finally lost influence with his party and resigned
from Congress in 1815. He was elected governor of Virginia and
served from 1827 to 1830.
He married Martha Peyton Tabb in 1697 {? s/b 1797 ?}. She was
the daughter of John Tabb, who owned over fourteen thousand
acres of land in Amelia. He married Frances Ann Guynn in 1810.
He left descendants. His Amelia estate was "Wigwam", located on
the Appomattox River not a great distance from Lodore. I
understand that the old house has been restored and is now the
residence of a family of Harrisons. Mr. Giles died at this very
large estate in 1830. Jones flour mill which is nearby was
formerly called Giles' mill. This is in operation now, 1943. I
am informed that John Randolph often visited Giles at his home
in Amelia.
