  • Northern Neck Land Proprietary Records
    The Virginia government always held legal jurisdiction over the area owned by the proprietary, so all court actions are found within the records of the counties that comprised it. The Library holds local records such Research Notes Number 23 as deeds, wills, orders, loose papers, and tax records of these counties, and many of these are on microfilm and available for interlibrary loan. Researchers will find that the proprietary records provide a unique doc- umentary supplement to the extant records of this region. The history of Virginia has been enriched by their survival. Northern Neck Land Proprietary Records Introduction The records of the Virginia Land Office are a vital source of information for persons involved in genealog- ical and historical research. Many of these records are discussed in Research Notes Number 20, The Virginia Land Office. Not discussed are the equally rich and important records of the Northern Neck Land Proprietary, also known as the Fairfax Land Proprietary. While these records are now part of the Virginia Land Office, they were for more than a century the archive of a vast private land office owned and oper- ated by the Fairfax family. The lands controlled by the family comprised an area bounded by the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers and stretched from the Chesapeake Bay to what is now West Virginia. It embraced all or part of the cur- rent Virginia counties and cities of Alexandria, Arlington, Augusta, Clarke, Culpeper, Fairfax, Fauquier, Frederick, Greene, King George, Lancaster, Loudoun, Madison, Northumberland, Orange, Page, Prince William, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Stafford, Warren, Westmoreland, and Winchester, and the current West Virginia counties of Berkeley, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, and Morgan.

  • David Lee Ingram, USA: the Fairfax Line Survey
    The Fairfax Line Survey David Lee INGRAM, USA Key words: Fairfax, Northern Neck, Potomac, Rappahanock, Virginia. The need for a survey of the “Fairfax Line” originates with a land grant by Charles II in 1649. This paper will discuss several areas to include the original land grant, the rulings of the Privy Council, the actual survey, the present day significance of the survey, and the efforts by Surveyors Historical Society to relocate the beginning point during their “Rendezvous ‘99". The author is a Land Surveyor engaged in private practice in Virginia. He has a specific interest in the Fairfax Line because it forms the North line of his home county.

INTRODUCTION The early development of the Colonies that became the United States of America depended on a great many different acts of man, including surveying the land. From small parcels of land to surveys that helped delineate large grants and political boundaries, the colonial surveyors were in the midst of many great steps of progress enjoyed by our forefathers. One of the more interesting surveys involved the survey of the “Fairfax Line” to establish the limits of the Northern Neck land grant in Virginia.

  • 1 the Life and Death of John Counts of Page and Russell Counties
    The life and death of John Counts of Page and Russell Counties, Virginia By Sharon Lemkuil, November 2018 This account is based on the few facts that have been gathered in the last 290 years regarding the man now commonly known as “John Counts of Glade Hollow”. This name with the descriptor was given to him by his descendant Elihu Jasper Sutherland who researched and wrote a biographical sketch of “John Counts of Glade Hollow” which is contained in the book, “Some Descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow”, Appendix A. Sutherland used this name because it is the first version of the name he found in the 09 Feb 1764 civil suit of John Counts against John Stacey, as well as the name used in the Last Will and Testament of John Counts who signed by mark on 03 Apr 1802 in Russell County, Virginia, a county formed on 02 Jan 1786 from Washington County, Virginia. The Will was presented to Court and proved by the oath of John Hargis on 27 Apr 1803, and further proved on 26 Jul 1803 by the oath of Duritee Counts. Sutherland used “of Glade Hollow” to distinguish the father from his son John Counts “of Cleveland”, the locations in which they resided in Russell County, Virginia. Sutherland’s sketch remains as an excellent source of factual information on our ancestor. As Glade Hollow in Russell County, Virginia is the final location in which “John Counts of Glade Hollow” lived, died, and was buried, this identifier has become not only his commonly used name, but the surname Counts is used by many of his descendants down through the generations.

  • Fairfax Lands
    The West Virginia Encyclopedia Fairfax Lands The Fairfax Lands originated in a 1649 grant by King Charles II to seven loyal supporters, of all of the land in the colony of Virginia between the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers from their head waters to the Chesapeake Bay. By 1719, through purchases and inheritance, Lord Thomas Fairfax became sole proprietor. His domain included most of the Eastern Panhandle and Potomac Highlands of present West Virginia. Under the royal grant, the proprietor was given governing rights. There was some dissatisfaction between the colony and Fairfax, and in 1733 the Virginia General Assembly attacked the proprietorship and its boundaries. In 1736, to establish the bounds of the grant, surveyors for Fairfax and Virginia followed the North Branch of the Potomac River to what they determined to be the Potomac’s source, a small spring between Backbone Mountain and Dobbin Ridge in present Tucker County. In 1746, a second surveying party established the Fairfax Line from the headwaters of the Rappahannock in the Blue Ridge Mountains to this spring, where they placed a stone marker known thereafter as the Fairfax Stone. The vast region between the rivers was called the Northern Neck, although in modern times the name applies only to the section between the lower Potomac and Rappahannock, in Tidewater Virginia. The Fairfax Line completed the boundaries of the royal grant. In England, Fairfax successfully defended the boundaries established by these surveys, and the British Board of Trade confirmed that he was entitled to the quitrents or taxes from the holdings. In 1747, Fairfax moved permanently to Virginia, and in 1752 established his residence, Greenway Court, near Winchester.
