Colonel Nicholas Spencer, Jr. (1633–1689) was a merchant, planter and politician in colonial Virginia. Born in Cople, Bedfordshire, Spencer migrated to the Westmoreland County, Virginia, where he became a planter and which he represented in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Spencer later served as Secretary and President of the Council of the Virginia Colony, and on the departure of his cousin Thomas Colepeper, 2nd Baron Colepeper in 1683, was named Acting Governor (1683–84), in which capacity Spencer served until the arrival of Governor Lord Howard of Effingham. Spencer's role as agent for the Culpepers helped him and his cousin Lt. Col. John Washington, ancestor of George Washington, secure the patent for their joint land grant of the Mount Vernon estate.

  • Nicholas Spencer (Cople, 1633 – Virginia, 1689) è stato un mercante e politico inglese.Divenne in seguito un planter ed un proprietario di schiavi, ma iniziò la sua carriera come semplice mercante di Londra che emigrò nella contea di Westmoreland, dove fece fortuna e dove venne eletto come membro della House of Burgesses della Virginia. Spencer fu poi Segretario e Presidente del Consiglio della Colonia della Virginia ed alla partenza di suo cugino Thomas Colepeper, II barone Colepeper nel 1683, venne nominato governatore reggente (1683-1684) sino all'arrivo del governatore successivo Lord Howard di Effingham. Il ruolo di Spencer come agente per Culpeper aiutò sia lui che il suo amico, il tenente colonnello John Washington, antenato poi di George Washington, ad ottenere le prime concessioni (it)
