Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, was the only member of the British peerage to permanently reside in British America and owned the Northern Neck Proprietary in the Colony of Virginia. A close friend of George Washington, the two families, Fairfax and Washington, were often connected throughout his years in Virginia in the mid-1770s. Despite his acquaintanceship with the future President, Fairfax’s title to his domain was confiscated by the Virginia Act of 1779. This presentation will focus on the histories of the Fairfax and Washington family lines, how they were intertwined, and their influence in the pre-Revolutionary War colonial period. Presented by Connie S. Schroeder. Connie S. Schroeder is a local Stafford County resident of twenty-five years. She attended Georgetown College and holds a BS in Vocational Home Economics and is currently in the final stages of a Professional Studies degree at BYU in Advanced Family History Research.
