John,
Thank you for all the research and the links..they are very confusing when it comes to Lord Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord of Fairfax of Cameron who retired to land in VA and died there a bachelor. The Lord Fairfax after which my county is named was married to a very engaging young woman named Sally Carey. Any idea about the contradictions? It is said that George Washington fell in love with her but never did anything about it but pine for her. He must have been an honorable man..GW. Date wise this Lord FX was the only possible FX county owner.
We also have a Culpepper in Va. Farther South than Fairfax County.
