I just found a web site with pictures of the Leeds Manor House that was owned by the Marshall family until the 1930's (Chief Justice John Marshall, his brother, James Markham Marshall, General "Light Horse" Henry Lee and a few others bought the 119,927 acre Leeds Manor from Lord Fairfax after the Revolutionary War. As this house was built in the mid 1700's it is likely that it is the Manor House from which the entire Manor of Leeds was managed in the early years. The web site is at http://www.armfieldmillerripley.com/babette/leeds.html and is full of photographs inside and out along with a full description of the home. This site will likely be gone once the house is sold so if you are interested save the pictures on your computer by right clicking on each picture. Don't forget to ask permission from the realtor if you want to re-post them but realtors are usually pretty good about that. Being a Manor after the old English system, Fairfax had retained ownership of the property but gave leases to individual settlers for up to two lifetimes but with rights of renewal. These were usually in exchange for something like a shilling a year and improvements to the land - essentially what they would have been paying in property taxes to the county if they owned it outright. Fairfax would have lost the title to the property because of the War for Independence but forseeing problems he sold his manorial rights to his nephew and then bought the land outright from him -- evidently giving him clear title allowing him to sell to Marshall.
