 General Washington's father's eldest brother, and the head 

 of that now illustrious family. She has two sons and four

These anecdotes of the several branches of the Fairfax 

 family, now domiciliated in Virginia, may, perhaps, not be 

 unacceptable to the reader, and especially to the friends of 

 that noble family. They are, I believe, correct, and may 

 be relied upon. I received them from unquestionable 

 authority, from a person intimately connected with the 

 family; who, from repeated conversations with Thomas, 

 late Lord Fairfax; Mr. William Fairfax; his son George 

 William; Mrs. Mary Sherrard, first cousin to Thomas Lord 

 Fairfax, and aunt to the present Earl of Harborough; Lady 

 Lucy Sherrard; and many noble relatives of the family re- 

 siding in the north of England; was well qualified to give 

 the information.
