George Carrington (March 15, 1711 – February 7, 1785), was a surveyor, merchant, planter and legislator in the Colony of Virginia, who supported independence, as did his sons. As one of Virginia’s most significant landholders and with nearly four decades of part-time legislative service in the Virginia House of Burgesses and House of Delegates (with only brief interruptions), he is now considered the patriarch of the influential Carrington family.
