George Vanfelson

George Vanfelson, QC (April 23, 1784 – February 16, 1856) was a lawyer, judge and political figure in Lower Canada.

He was born in Quebec City in 1784, of German descent, and studied law with Jean-Antoine Panet.

Vanfelson was elected for the Lower Town of Quebec in an 1832 by-election held after the death of Thomas Lee; he was reelected in 1834.

He supported the Ninety-Two Resolutions but became a moderate Patriote, becoming the leader of this group when Elzéar Bédard was appointed judge.

His sister Josette married Louis Gauvreau, who also served in the legislative assembly.
