Background
The Northern Neck Proprietary — also called the Northern Neck land grant, Fairfax Proprietary, or Fairfax Grant — was a land grant first contrived by the exiled English King Charles II in 1649 and encompassing all the lands bounded by the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers in colonial Virginia: almost 5.3 million acres of land. By 1719, these lands had been inherited by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron (1693-1781).
This September, one of Thomas’ direct descendants, Nicholas Fairfax - the current (and 14th) Lord Fairfax of Cameron, will visit the area to lead a charity motorcycle ride around the original land grant. The ride will benefit four local charities.
Visit www.LordFairfaxRide.org to see the 1, 2, 3, and 4 day route options, camping and overnight facilities, and ride schedule. You will also find background on the Land Grant, on Nicholas Fairfax, and on all four charities.
We hope to see you on the road this September!
