Notes
  • Significance: "Ash Grove" is said to have been named for an older Fairfax house in England. Some historians state that the nucleus of the structure began as a hunting lodge, built either by Lord Fairfax of Greenway Court or Bryan who succeeded to title as eighth Lord Fairfax. Confirmation is lacking though the stone foundation presently supporting a later leanto, possibly pre-dates the house. The ell would appear to have been built contemporaneously as a winter kitchen. In his late years, Thomas, ninth Lord Fairfax and builder of "Ash Grove" bought "Vaucluse" near Alexandria and bestowed "Ash Grove" upon his second son, Henry. Following Captain Henry Fairfax's death during the Mexican War the property was purchased by James Sherman. Descendants on occasion relate some interesting family lore of Civil War events when the neighborhood was a "no man's land."
