Joyner, Peggy. Abstracts of Virginia's Northern Neck Warrants & Surveys Dunmore, Shenandoah, Culpeper, Prince William, Fauquier & Stafford Countyies, 1710-1780, Vol. III, Portsmouth, VA: Joyner, 1985.

The findings of the commissioners confirmed Lord Fairfax's claim to the land in the fork of Rappahannock, now Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties, and to the land lying between the head spring of the Rapidan and the head spring of the Potomac Rivers.  In other words, it would be better understood to say that the entire boundary was from the mouth of Rappahannock River to the head spring of the Rapidan branch, at the top of the Blue Ridge between Madison and Green Counties, thence a straight line seventy-six and one-half miles to the head spring of Potomac Rier, now the Southwest corner of Maryland, and thence down the Potomac River to the Chesapeake Bay and with the Bay to the beginning.
