Charles Lynch (judge)
Charles Lynch (1736 – 1796) was an American planter, politician, military officer and judge from Central Virginia. The terms "lynching" and "lynch law" are likely derived from Colonel Lynch's efforts to suppress various Loyalist conspiracies on the Virginia frontier during the Revolution, although as practiced by Lynch, the practice referred to a whipping, and not an execution. Lynch himself would help to free five enslaved individuals through deeds of manumission in 1792 and 1793.
