Published as the second volume in a series of Northern Neck Warrants & Surveys, this collection has become a standard reference work for researchers in the period of colonial Frederick County history.

The Northern Neck Proprietary, also called the Fairfax Proprietary, or Fairfax Grant, was a land grant first created by the exiled English King Charles II in 1649 and encompassing all the lands bounded by the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers in colonial Virginia. This constituted up to 5,200,000 acres of Virginia's Northern Neck and a vast area northwest of it.

The grant became actual in 1660 when Charles was restored to the English throne. By 1719, these lands had been inherited by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron (1693-1781). By that time the question of the boundaries of the designated lands had also become highly contentious. It was decided in 1746 that a line between the sources of the North Branch of the Potomac and the Rappahannock River (the "Fairfax Line") would constitute the western limit of Lord Fairfax's lands. The early 17th century decade was witnessing a wave of pioneer settlement throughout the region.

To obtain land a person purchased a warrant from the proprietor's agent specifying the precise location of the desired land. The warrant was then given to a surveyor, who surveyed the land. The plat, warrant, and any related papers were returned to the proprietor's office, and if the title was clear, a grant was recorded and then issued. At any point after the warrant was purchased the land could be assigned (sold) to another person, and years could elapse between the purchase of the warrant and the issuance of a grant.

The volume is arranged first by county, then alphabetic by grantee. Please note: The index provided at the end of the volume contains only those persons whose reference occurs outside the alphabetic listing in the volume. It is NOT a complete index of names or places.

Simple, Durable, and a Great Pantry Staple
I bought these because they were inexpensive, and they turned out to be exactly what I expected in a good way. They’re durable, have the size and softness of a standard everyday napkin, and the absorbency is solid for normal meals and spills. The pack is a good size—it fits easily in my pantry but still holds a lot of napkins, so it lasts a long time before needing to restock. If you’re just looking for simple, reliable napkins at a great price, these are a really good value.

Good Value Napkins for Everyday Use
These napkins are a good everyday option. The size is large, they’re affordable, and the quality is good for the price. I like that they have a textured surface, which makes them more useful than plain napkins. They are a bit thin, so I didn’t give 5 stars, but for daily meals and regular use, they work great. Overall, a solid and budget-friendly product.

Soft and convenient, but slightly thin
I bought these disposable napkins for family dinners and small gatherings, and overall they’ve been very useful. They’re soft enough to feel comfortable while still absorbing spills and messes fairly well. I also like that the size is practical for everyday meals and snacks, and the stack fits neatly on the table without taking up much space. The napkins separate easily too, which is convenient when guests are around. However, they are a little thinner than I expected, so sometimes I end up using two for bigger spills. Still, they work well for regular use and are a convenient option to keep around the kitchen and dining area.
