message: Were the Lords Fairfax really from Scotland? I read that their surname is both English and Caledonian, and apparently all of their usual property in the British Isles was in Yorkshire.--Anglius 03:35, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They are, as the article says, from Yorkshire. Holding a Scotch peerage is another matter. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The Fairfaxes of Virginia were from a branch of the Fairfax family located at Steeton, Yorkshire, a small village near Bolton Percy not far from the city of York, since medieval times. The family is considered an ancient Yorkshire family.. Regards,MarmadukePercy (talk) 02:11, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "In the Scottish sense, that a Barony inplies a free hold of property, the Barony of Cameron is not indeed a Barony at all.  It is a patent of the Baronial dignity which Charles I created, in 1627, and which he conferred in a manner not unusual to the Stuart King, for the consideration of a fee to the Royal Exchequer."  pohick (talk) 19:49, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, and I am unsure why 'Scottish-American' is given as a category for this fellow. MarmadukePercy (talk) 17:48, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The 2018 Washington Post article referenced here about Lt. Gov Fairfax states: "emancipated by this handwritten deed on June 5, 1798"; well, the 6th Lord Fairfax died 7 years earlier in 1781 ;) While Simon Fairfax may have indeed served the 6th Lord Fairfax, he was freed by  Thomas Fairfax, 9th Lord Fairfax of Cameron (1762–1846). That part of the "Legacy" should be clarified here; it should also be added to article about the 9th Lord, and to [Fairfax], to complement, and make full information available to readers about that subject.

message: Is it possible that "bedding down with a negro wench" is also recorded as “to be brought to bed” and represents an archaic English form of finding a midwife? https://www.fauquier.com/opinion/letter-lord-fairfax-s-history-is-being-misrepresented-as-college-seeks-to-change-its-name/article_24f4c8a8-b80c-11eb-b17f-1337c80e0676.html

message: Fairfax depended on hundreds of enslaved persons who worked among his 30 Virginia plantations. He was active in trading slaves...
:This is hardly notable. It would have been more surprising if a major Virginia landowner of his time had not depended on slave labour. I notice these slave-mentions popping-up everywhere, and it is obvious that there are some Wiki editors with an agenda. I think that slave-owning should only be mentioned when it forms a notable element in the story. Valetude (talk) 19:13, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

message: In part because of my ongoing cyberbullies, I have not had time to citecheck and clean up this article, nor that of the Northern Neck Proprietary beyond what I did years ago. Clearly two of the comments here are both undated and unattributed. While I disagree with the last named editor, Valetude (who does not adopt American spelling), that "slave owning should only be mentioned when it forms a notable element in the story", I also agree with him that unattributed edits may be done by editors to support an agenda, rather than historical accuracy (and wikipedia standards).Jweaver28 (talk) 14:44, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
