estates. These included Leeds Castle
in Kent, England. and the Northern
Neck in Virginia, which had been pre-
scented 10 Lord CulpeDper by the. genial
Charles H.
The Northern Neck comprised some
$4,000 acres-alI the land lying between
the Potomac and Rappahannock, incIud-
ing the Shenandoah Valley. -
The sixth Lord Fairfax is said to have
been a man ambitious Of distinction. He
was intimate with Lord Bolingbroke.
Addison ana Steele. and had commits
sion in the Blues, a very prominent reg
iment of the day.
He was engaged to he married to a
lady Of rank. and the contract was
equally drawn up when the lady jiited
amour propFe on his American estates
Recently the marriage contract, with
the lady's name carefully erased, has
been found among some old family
papers.
In speaking Of Lord Fairfax, Arch
deacon BUrnaby said:
Early in life he had formed an at
taehment 10 a young lady Of quality
and matters had proceeded so far as TO
induce him 70 provide carriages. clothes,
servaats, and the necessary APPENDICES
for such an occasion. Unfortunately
or rather let me say fortunately. before
the contract was sealed more advan-
. tageous offer was made To the lady. and
she preferred the higher honor Of being
a duchess to the inferior station OF a
baroness.
This disappointment is thought 10
have made n deep impression on Lord
FairfaX's mind and to have had no in
considerable share in determining him
20 retire from the world and to settle
in the wild and, at that time almost un-
Inhabited, forests of North America
1T is thought 20 have excited in him
"a general dislike Of the sex. in whose

strainl and embarrassment But I was

Fairfax was interested in young
George Washington, and from the time
when the future President was a lad
of fifteen, visiting Belvoir frequently,
his lordship never missed an oppor-
tunity TO advance his fortune.
Through the influence Of William
Fairfax, George Washington came near
being a sailor man. a commission was
obtained for him in the British navy,
but his mother would not consent 10 his
going. for several persons told her it
was n bad scheme" Not long after
this, Washington's uncle. Joseph Ban,
residing in England, wrote 10 mis-
mother. I understand that YOU are
advised and have some thoughts Of
putting your son to sea. I think he
had better be put apprentice TO a trade,
for a common sailor before the mast
has by no means the common liberty
OF the subject. for they will press him
from a ship where he has 90 shilhngs a
month and make him take g. and cut
and beat him like negro, or rather

like a dog. And as to any considerable
promotion in the navy, it is not TO be
expected, as there are always so many
gaping for it here, who have influence.
and he has none"
In 1748 Lord Fairfax employed George
Washington and George William Fair
fax, son Of William Fairfax, as survey
eFs- They worked for a month in the
upper part Of the Northern Neck o.
Virginia. In journal which he kept of

Shortly after his arrival in Virginia
Lord Fairfax erected Greenway Court
and Hastings Lodge. where he resided to
the end of his days, more than fifty
years in a state of baroniai hospitality,
His dress was always simple and his
m 3nners modest and unaffected.
His generosity was such that he gave
his English estates 70 his brother Rob-
ert. and distributed the surplus income
from his American estates among his
poorer neighbors.
His greatest amusement was hunting
and after the chase the whole field was
invited to partake of his hospitality

to Lieutenant-G Governor Fauquier, who
had arrived from England. he was in
troduced 10 his lady, and nothing of the
kind appeared TO Justify the Obserya-
ton. He remained at the palace three
or four days. and during that time his
behavior was courteous, polite and be-
coming a man of fashion"
Lord Fairfax retired TO America in
1916 He found settled in Virginia his
cousin William Fairfax, who became his
agent and whose son eventually sue
ceeded him as the eighth lord.
For some time he lived at Belvoir
TIE house of his cousin. on the banks
Of the Potomac.
Here he made the acquaintance Of the
Washington family. He was at BelvoiF
when Lawrence Washington. the elder
brother OF George. married Anne Fair
