Must have been terrible work

We North Carolina FAIRFAX folks are thinking that we came from this FAIRFAX
Family somehow, unless that British Soldier Story in our family has some
truth in it???!!!....{:).
Main query: Were there any British FAIRFAX soldiers that fought for England
in America during the years of 1775 - 1782???? ...{:).
Have a great day!!! ...{:).

Hi
I've just joined the list. I have very little information on my
paternal side of the family. My dad's mom was a Farr and are supposed
to be descended from the Farrs of the Herndon/Dranesville area? Other
names I am researching are Owens, Richstein, Hutchinson, and VanGueder.

Does anyone have any information on the family of John Christopher Barr,who purchased a 29 acre tract in Fairfax Co. in 1779 and sold the track in 1784. At least this is the information I have.
Oops! I meant to write that Nicholas Talbott was possibly born in
Fairfax county in the 1760's instead of 1860's. Possibly son of
Basil/Bazel Talbott. Does anyone have any info on this? Thanks.
