Thomas, b. 16th Jan. 1611-12; d. 12th Nov. 1671, third Lord FAIRFAX. He was a participator in the victory obtained by his father at Selby, and commanded the right wing of the parliamentarians at Marston Moor. In the 34th year of his age he was appointed General-in-Chief of the Parliament's armies, and soon after routed the King at Naseby; retook Leicester; beat Col. GORING; took Bridgewater, Dartmouth and Bristol; defeated Lord HOPTON; forced the Prince of Wales into France; and then, reducing the entire West, drove the King from Oxford, in May, 1646, in which year he was made Governor of the Tower of London. After succeeding to the barony, he reduced Colchester; but he took no part in the subsequent proceedings of the Independents, and was entirely free of any participation in the death of the King. In 1650, he resigned the command of the army to CROMWELL; and nine years afterwards, his lordship, coalescing with Sir George DOWNING and General MONK, assisted zealously in restoring the monarchy and was one of the commissioners deputed, upon that occasion, to the King. Soon after this event, Lord FAIRFAX represented the Co. of York in Parliament, but passed the latter end of his life in rural retirement.

Thomas, sixth Lord FAIRFAX, b. at Denton, 1690; d. s. p. at Greenway Court, Va., 9th Dec. 1781. This nobleman inherited from his mother a considerable fortune, consisting of several manors in Kent, estates in the Isle of Wight, and a tract of land in Virginia, called the Northern Neck, comprised within the boundaries of the rivers Potomac and Rappahannock, containing by estimation, 5,700,000 acres. From his father he inherited Denton Hall and other property in Yorkshire, but he was obliged by his mother and grandmother to dispose of those in order to redeem the COLEPEPPER manors. His lordship had a commission in the Horse Guards, but visiting his American estates in 1736, was so captivated with the soil, climate and beauties of Virginia, that after spending a year with Col. Wm. FAIRFAX at Belvoir, he sailed home, settled his affairs, and, in 1739, returned to Virginia, resolved to spend the remainder of his life there; and he soon after erected Greenway Court, in Frederick Co., where he continued ever afterwards to reside in a state of baronial hospitality. His dress was plain and simple, his manners modest and unaffected, and his style of living, magnificent. Such was his generosity, that he gave up his English estates to his brother Robert, and the surplus of his American income [p.275] was distributed among his poor neighbors. His principal amusement was hunting, and after the chase he was wont to invite the whole field to partake of his hospitality. He had been educated in revolutionary principles, and had imbibed high notions of republican liberty. He was Lieutenant and “custos rotulorum” of Frederick Co., and presided at the Provincial Courts of Winchester, Va., where, during the session, he kept an open table. 2.
