AND OTHER LANDS (§ 41.1-2)

In all suits, either at law or in equity, in which title to any land is derived
or sought to be derived from Lord Fairfax, through Denny Martin Fairfax, it
shall not be necessary in order to make out a chain of title, to prove the act
of Parliament authorizing Denny Martin, the devisee of Lord Fairfax, to take the
name of Fairfax, but the same shall be presumed and taken to be true to the same
extent as if a properly authenticated copy of such act had been adduced in
evidence.
		The records, documents, and entries of land granted by the former lord
proprietor of the Northern Neck, and of all land granted, or to be granted, by
the Commonwealth, shall be in the keeping of the Librarian of Virginia in the
