SUMMARY:Lecture – An English Lord in America: Lord Fairfax and George Washington in Revolutionary Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Fairfax\, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron\, played an influential role throughout the life of George Washington. Having been introduced to Washington shortly after settling in Belvoir\, Va.\, in 1747\, Fairfax became Washington’s first employer when he hired the sixteen-year-old Virginian to survey his lands west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although a professed Loyalist throughout the American Revolution\, Fairfax was quiet about his sentiments and remained a close friend of Washington until Fairfax’s death in 1781. In this lecture\, Nicholas Fairfax\, 14th Lord Fairfax of Cameron and descendant of Thomas Fairfax\, discusses the early history of the Fairfax family in America and the relationship between the Fairfax and Washington families before and after the Revolution. \nRegistration is requested.
