• “Stafford County Tricentennial, August 1 - 8, 1964. From the Souvenir Program”. The name Stafford was taken from "Staffordshire", the home country in England of Captain George Mason and Captain Gerard Fowks, both early leaders in Stafford, and of many other Cavalier followers of Charles II who was denied his place on the throne of England by Oliver Cromwell.
• “The Brent Family.” The political conflicts in Maryland were intense, including several small-scale civil wars, so the Brents moved to Virginia. Margaret Brent obtained a land grant and was the first English owner of what today is Alexandria. She and her brother Giles were the first English settlers in Northern Virginia.
