Judy - Since 1765 Truro Parish has been located in the southeastern part of Fairfax County, including the towns of Fairfax, Springfield, Fort Belvoir, and Lorton. When the parish was formed in 1732 it covered all of what is now Fairfax, Arlington and Loudoun counties (at that time it was part of Prince William County). See Parish Lines, Diocese of Virginia, by Charles Francis Cocke (Richmond: Virginia State Library, 1967), p. 286. P.S. What do you know about Richard PELL and his family? I am descended from a Richard PELL who died in Fairfax County ca. 1807. Is that the same person? Sincerely, Donald L. Wilson, Virginiana Librarian Ruth E.
