William Fairfax married, secondly, Eliza- beth, daughter of Peyton Buckner of Vir- ginia, by which union there issued two more sons : John and William, and three daughters. William Fairfax, the senior, was a planter with considerable possessions in Maryland, and although he and both his elder sons were qualified for the military service, all three of them, like their contemporary 27 XKe Fairfax Families Fairfaxes on the Virginia side of the Potomac, stood loyal to the British Crown during our R...evolution. In 1789, William Fairfax disposed of his Maryland properties, and in 1791 he crossed the Potomac into Prince William County, Virginia, and thereafter made his home at Occoquan.
