Notes:
Fauquier County was split off from its parent county, Prince William, in 1759. It's boundaries have remained unchanged ever since.
Prince William lies to the east and Loudoun to the north. The top of the Blue Ridge Mountains forms the western boundary and the upper reaches of the Rappahannock River the southwestern one. Stafford is southeast across Deep Run, a tributary of the Rappahannock.
The first settlers in the frontier area that became Fauquier arrived in the second decade of the eighteenth century (i.e., 1720). At that time it was part of the Proprietorship of the Northern Neck, in Stafford and Richmond counties. The Richmond share along the Rappahannock became part of King George in 1721, and the whole became part of Prince William in 1732.
Settlement began from the south and east into the southern part of Fauquier county along the Rappahannock and its tributaries and a bit later along tributaries of the Occoquan. Almost all of the land had been granted by the Proprietors through their agents by 1750. Those patents included one for the Manor of Leeds giving Thomas Lord Fairfax, the last of the Proprietors, direct title to 120,000 acres, most of which lay in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in northwest Fauquier. Lord Fairfax began leases-for-lives in his Manor in 1753.
By the time of the Revolutionary War the population of the half of the county north of the Courthouse village (now Warrenton, Virginia) exceeded that below it, and the frontier had crossed the Blue Ridge into the Shenandoah Valley and beyond.
Many of the inhabitants of Fauquier after the Revolution had “itchy feet” or at least their younger children did. Before 1781 there had already been migration from Fauquier to the Valley and to the interior of the Carolinas. A “Carolina Road” ran across the middle of Fauquier.
After Yorktown both western and southern tides swelled. Many people left for South Carolina and Tennessee. Still more headed west for Kentucky spurred in part by land grants to soldiers of the French and Indian War and the Revolution. Huge tracts of Kentucky land were originally surveyed, subdivided, and sold by real estate agents based in Northern Virginia.
In spite of these moves the population of the county grew rapidly from its founding to the end of the century and beyond.
In 1760, based on the count of 1693 tithes, there were an estimated 3,500 residents.
By 1775 the total had more than doubled to 8,000-8,500. In the decade to 1785, due to the war and the consequent drying up of immigration from Europe, there was little net increase. Then a burst of growth in the last fifteen years of the century took the total to around 15,000 residents in 1800.
In spite of continuing massive outflow to the West and South, growth kept on, reaching a peak of over 30,000 in the 1830’s, a number not to be surpassed for more than a century.
So the 18th century Fauquier Families have their descendants spread across the continent.
