[1] has entry of his baptism in the Bromfield register: Thomas son of Thomas Lord Fairfax and the Lady Catherine his wife was born 22 October and bapt. 31 October 1693. Anyone have more reliable source for birth? Alf 19:37, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
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)
Famously and know by all residents and taught at schools UNTIL OBAMA, is that Lord Fairfax Graciously left his land, upon dying, the to County government - with willed use it be used for improvement of the people (ie, never sold for political gain, which by laws of will would be illegal, over $2,000 of it would be a felony)
This history of Lord Fairfax land being seized is ABSOLUTELY WRONG, if it were "seized" he didn't loose ownership, or it was some insignificant land not his major holding.
The history, as presented, could be used to claim that county executives auctioning land for pay raises wouldn't be a jail term: however - it very much can be and I hope will be if they get caught doing it.
they are giving keys to people to edit history in an "attack amercica" style, deleting good submissions - even defamating those who do this - with IP blocking as well, adding complete lies for political reasons
the problem with wikipedia is the moderators hate the usa and are unregulated

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. (I don't know how to properly edit Wiki pages). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.228.111 ( talk) 18:45, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
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? [1]

Fairfax depended on hundreds of enslaved persons who worked among his 30 Virginia plantations. He was active in trading slaves...
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).
