The boundary line between Fairfax
and Loudoun was readjusted in 1873.
when much of the territory that had
been taken from Fairfax for the cre-
alton of Loudoun was restored TO the
jurisdiction of Fairfax. The present
boundary line between Fairfax and
Loudoun starts at the Potomac river
half a mile below the Seneca dam
and passes southwest across Sugariand
run and the Georgetown and Lees
burg pike midway between Dranes-
vile in Fairfax and Daysville in Lou
doun. Continuing southwest. the line
crosses the railroad to Bluemont
about a mile beyond Herndon. then
crosses Horse Pen run, bisects the
Little River turnpike from Alexandria
to Aldie a trifle more than mile
west of the hamlet of Chantilly. 1t

Leesburg pike. roughly parallels the
course OF Difficult run, but at some dis
tance east Of 1t.
In 1888, when the inhabitants Of the
Tar western part OF Fairfax county
petitioned that q new county be
formed, and in consequence of which
petition Loudoun county was created
out of Fairfax, the boundary between
the two counties was Difficult rum
The line ran from the point where
Difficult run enters the Potomac and
followed the course of that creek to
its source, which is in the highland
west of the village Of Fairfax Court
House and east of the post office of
Chantilly and very close to that
bloody battlefield of the civil war
which the Confederates called Ok Hill
and the Federals called Chantilly.
The Rambler is not sure but that
Difficult run has it's source in that
very field, but he believes the stream
rises about a mile east Of the farm of
Capt. John Ballard, near the hamlet of
Pender. A road which runs north and
south connecting the Little River and
the Warrenton turnpikes passes
through the place and close to the
spots where Gen. Phil Kearny and
Gen. Isaac Stevens were killed. In
1861 the Ballard farm was the prop
erty of James Thrift, who entered the
Confederate service and was killed in
the fight at Seven Rivers. James
Thrifts daughter married Capt. John
Ballard of the Confederate service.
