Notes
Naylor's Hold/Naylor's Hole in Richmond County, Virginia
Description
Painting of a house entitled Naylor's Hold in Richmond County, Virginia. "Moore Fauntleroy moved to the Northern Neck of the Virginia Tidewater in 1648, and settled on a tract of land River, extending from the Rappahannock to the Potomac River in Lancaster County, Virginia. Of this large tract of land, five hundred acres was granted and confirmed by Act I, Grand Assembly of Virginia, March 23, 1660, in the twelfth year (reckoning from the execution of Charles on January 30, 1649) of the rein of King Charles II. This property was successively a part of Lancaster, Old Rappahannock, and Richmond counties. Moore Fauntleroy was justice and Burgher from Lancaster 1651, 1652, 1656, and from Rappahannock, 1656. He owned large tracts of land, many slaves, and several vessels, and transported many settlers from England. He died in 1667 at Crondall, a part of Naylors Hole. He was buried there." (“The Fauntleroy Family,” Mary Emily Fauntleroy. Page 213. link. Another source says he built a large brick house, made from bricks made in England and brought by ship, and named it Naylor's Hold. (St. Louis, the Fourth City, 1764-1909, Volume 2. By Walter Barlow Stevens. Page 569. GoogleBooks.
A more contemporary, travel report about the area, now called Naylor's Beach, says, "Written records about the breezy beach begin with its purchase by Col. Moore Fauntleroy from the Rappahannock Indians on April 4, 1651. Fauntleroy was born in 1610 in Southampton County, England, and established a series of plantations and mansions along the Rappahannock River. The property there was called Naylors Hole, possibly after John Naylor, a gentleman of Richmond and King George counties." dead link
