The Fairfax Family Crest
John Contee Fairfax, M.D., of Hampton, Md., is recognized, by the English heraldic authorities, as the real and actual Lord Fairfax of Cameron (Scotland). The descendant of William Fairfax, the emigrant (1720), Thomas Fairfax, died in Virginia (1782), and the title passed to his son, the Rev. Bryan Fairfax, who was confirmed in England, in 1800, as Eighth Baron Fairfax of Cameron.
