XIV. Correspondence and papers of Robert Nelson,
1676–1715.
| In Collection: | Smythe of Barbavilla Papers, 1621-1930. |
|---|---|
| Description: | Letters and papers of Robert Nelson (1656–1715), FRS, of Blackheath, London, and Great Ormond Street, Westminster, a (fairly inactive?) member of the Levant Company, a religious writer, a non-juror (until 1710) and a man of Jacobite sympathies thereafter. His wife, Theophila (d.1705), a Roman Catholic, was a daughter of the 1st Earl of Berkeley and a connection of the Ingoldsbys. He was a friend of Mrs Jane Bonnell (see MSS 41,577–41,580). He left her this part of his papers, which passed, together with her own, to Ralph Smyth of Gray’s Inn (1676–1755), her kinsman and executor. [N.B. Some of the attribution of papers to Nelson is speculative.] |
