 List of Governors of Virginia information - Search.com
This is a list of Governors of Virginia since Virginia became a U.S. state following the American Revolutionary War.
The Governor of Virginia is forbidden by the Constitution of the Commonwealth from serving consecutive terms (the only U.S. state in which gubernatorial incumbents are forbidden from running for governor); however, several governors have served multiple non-consecutive terms.
In Virginia, governors and lieutenant governors are elected separately, so the two can be of different political parties and can be political rivals.

Governor Patrick Gordon was sympathetic to the measure, but, while he appeared willing to ignore Hannah Penn's instructions to his predecessor, he hesitated to offend the Board of Trade.
In 1737 opposition to Pennsylvania's paper money found a new voice in Thomas Penn, who was determined to make a profit out of the colony he and his brothers had inherited from their father.
The two governors cited royal instructions or the length of the excise taxes needed to support some of the proposed emissions as the reasons for their vetos.

 Land, Agriculture-Mitchell
What was described as a valuable colony was given up because of the number of proprietors, disagreements and disputes among them, their inability to settle the matter of quitrents, or annual land use fees, in South Carolina, and their fear that they would lose the colony in case of invasion by Spain.
Both Governor Alexander Spotswood of Virginia and Moseley recommended to Carteret that his one-eighth part of Carolina be set up as a single district and that the northern boundary be the Virginia-North Carolina line, since that was the only boundary in the entire province that had been fixed.
On May 19, 1737, while action on Granville’s petition for his one-eighth part of Carolina was pending, King George II in council granted to Murray Crymble and James Huey 1.2 million acres of land on the Pee Dee, Cape Fear, and Neuse rivers on their petition to settle six thousand Swiss in North Carolina.

 Leslie V. Brock: The Colonial Currency, Prices, and Exchange Rates
Colonial paper currency, generally called bills of credit, was issued on two bases: on the credit of the colony supported by tax funds, and on loan.
In the case of New England and the Middle colonies, where direct trade between the colonies and Britain was at a minimum, it was necessary for the colonies to have recourse to a roundabout trade to procure the necessary bills of exchange and specie to pay their adverse balances with Britain.
In a colony where a specie standard prevailed and bills of credit were not issued as war finance measures, as was the case in Massachusetts between 1750 and 1775, the price of exchange fluctuated in harmony with that in New York and Pennsylvania, but the fluctuations were not so great.

 Benjamin Franklin
He and former colonial governor Thomas Pownall proposed alternative ways to create revenue in the colonies, but their proposals were ignored.
The legislative assembly of each colony was to choose, once in three years, representatives to attend a Federal grand council, which was to meet every year at Philadelphia, as the City most convenient of access from north and south alike.
The governor contended that these should be exempt from taxation; the assembly insisted rightly that these estates should bear their one share of the public burdens.

 The Frontier In American History: Chapter III
Riots occurred when the colonial authorities attempted to assert possession, and the matter was at length compromised in 1719 by allowing Litchfield to be settled in accordance with the town grants, while the colony reserved the larger part of northwestern Connecticut.
The diplomacy of New York governors during this period of the Old West, in securing a protectorate over the Six Nations and a consequent claim to their territory, and in holding them aloof from France, constituted the most effective contribution of that colony to the movement of American expansion.
Among the objects of the colony, as specified in the charters, were the relief of the poor and the protection of the frontiers.

From 1652 to 1660 the Governors were elected by the House of Burgesses, though there is some reason to believe that their choice may have been influenced by the wishes of the Parliamentary authorities, or of Cromwell.
The Councillors were the Governor's advisers in executive matters, and patents, etc., are stated to be issued with their "advice and consent." They constituted the General Court -the supreme court of the Colony and also had legislative functions as members of the upper house of the Assembly, corresponding somewhat to our senate.
The colonial almanacs (which were always published late in the year before that whose date they bear-as is the case now) contain lists which have in the main been found to be very accurate, of the members of the House in existence at the time when the almanac was printed.
