Thomas Stegg Jr.

Thomas Stegg Jr. (died 1670), like his father of the same name, was a British merchant and politician in the Colony of Virginia.

Career
He helped his father import indentured servants into the Virginia colony, and after his father's death at sea in late 1651 or early 1652, inherited property in Charles City County. He patented land in Henrico County with Manwaring Hammond, who was a justice of the peace in Charles City County, and made it his home and trading post.

In 1662 Stegg was appointed to the Virginia Governor's Council, and served until shortly before his death in 1670.

Death and legacy
After Stegg died in 1670, his widow Sarah married burgess Thomas Grendon, Jr. of Charles City County, and bore a son. During Bacon's Rebellion, Sarah vociferously endorsed Nathaniel Bacon and the rebels, incurring the wrath of Governor William Berkeley.
