Lord Fairfax, upon coming Into hla Inheritance, put Ide cousin William In charge of the Vir ginia relate. William established a realdence at llelvolr. About 174.1 lav- rence Washington, halfbrother half-brother of George, Inherited Mount Vernon and married Anne, daughter of William Fairfax. When Lord Fairfax came to Virginia i to stay be lived for a time at Belvoir twfore establishing Green way Court, where he kept otwn houae George William Fairfax, oldest brother of Mrs. 1-awrence Washington, and George Washington were warm friend» When Hie brother married Mias Carry of Hampton.

It waa the hunting season and lord Fairfax *«»>n had George In the aaddle He found the alxtevn year-old Virginian aa eX|wrt nnd fearless ns himself. Then and there began the friendship between Lord Fairfax and George Washington which was to continue through the vlclaaltudea of the He vo lution and end only with the old baron'a death. It waa a friendship that undoubtedly had mudi to do with the molding of the young Vir ginlan's character iti the formative atage of youth, For Lord Fairfax was a |Milialied man of the world. Long and Intimate association with him waa practl>-ally a liberal education to young George. Lord Fairfax was an ardent Itoyaltst and many a battle of argu ment he and hla young guest had at Greenway Court Aa hl* protege In- creased In stature and In public favor, lord Fairfax foresaw with sore dis may that he waa the chosen Instru ment Io win the Independence of the colonies and humble Great Britain's pride.
