He was a member of the County Court of Hanover for a number of years and as such an active participant in the fight between the Republican and Federalist members of the Court over the nominations made for that body in 1810. In politics he was a Federalist. He resided at Coles Hill, a very beautiful, if isolated, estate on the South Anna of the Pamunkey, which adjoined the Doswell estate known as Allen's Creek and which was separated from Rocky Mills and Mount Brilliant by the South Anna. It also lies in the general neighborhood of Chilton which was owned by Hugh Nelson and was later the home of Col. Nathaniel Pope, and of Aldingharn, the home of Col. Charles Dabney. Walter Coles owned numerous slaves and was fairly wealthy for his time.
