Lee and Fairfax Cemetery. The cemetery was established when Henry Lee II died in 1787 (at the Sully Plantation). His wife and he were buried here. Henry Fairfax and his third wife Elizabeth, both of whom died in 1847, were also buried here. The Lee family stones were stolen, being replaced by a bronze plaque donated by the Society of the Lees. Although their bodies are still here, the Fairfax headstones were reloaded in 1969 to Union Cemetery in Leesburg, alongside the tomb of their son John Walter Fairfax. |
