When delegates first gathered in Philadelphia for the Continental Congress, they elected the former King's Attorney of Virginia as the moderator and president of their meeting. He was a propitious choice. He was a legal prodigy — having studied at the Inner Temple in London, served as his native colony's Attorney General, and tutored many of the most able men of the South at William and Mary College — including the young Patrick Henry.
His home in Williamsburg was the gathering place for Virginia's legal and political gentry — and it remains a popular attraction in the restored colonial capital. He had served as a delegate in the Virginia House of Burgesses, and had been a commander under William Byrd in the colonial militia. He was a scholar of some renown — having begun a self-guided reading of the classics when he was thirteen.
He served the Continental Congress as president twice. During his first term in office he was forced to retire due to poor health on October 22, 1774 and Henry Middleton ( see below ) became the second person elected to the position. He returned to the position for a few short days again on May 10, 1775 however his heath once again forced him to resign. He never lived to see independence, yet was numbered among the nation's most revered founders.
