The Circuit Court Archives is home to many original wills, including this one written by William Fairfax. William Fairfax was a prominent member of the elite in Fairfax County, and a close friend to George Washington even though he was forty-one years older. Fairfax's will shows the common way land was bequeathed in colonial period and provides a clear genealogy of the Fairfax family at Belvoir.
