Published as the first volume in a series of Northern Neck Warrants & Surveys, this collection has become a standard reference work for researchers in the period of colonial Augusta County history and that of its parent county, Orange.

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.

Bar Cart Review
Size: Rustic Brown, Style: Standard
Easy and quick to assemble/put together. Happy with the look and how much it is able to hold. Yet it’s still small enough to fit in a corner of my apartment.

Chic, sturdy, and perfect for entertaining
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
This bar cart is exactly what I was hoping for. The gold finish gives it a really elevated, high-end look without the high-end price tag. It fits perfectly into my space and instantly makes the area feel more put together. Assembly was straightforward, and once built, it feels sturdy and well-balanced. The wheels roll smoothly, which makes it easy to move around when hosting or rearranging. I also appreciate the three-tier design, it holds a good amount without feeling bulky. I’ve styled it as a bar cart, but it would honestly work just as well as a coffee station or decorative piece. It’s one of those items that’s both functional and aesthetic. Definitely a great buy if you want something stylish that still feels practical.

Beautiful Bar Cart
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
Beautiful and very sturdy. It took about 1 hour to put together. The directions was a little confusing when it came to the middle bar that connects C & D. Make sure the middle bar is down facing so the marble slab will lay flat. Other than that, beautiful piece , great quality and perfect size.
