The Lee and Fairfax Family Cemetery stands on a ridge top overlooking Occoquan Bay. The Lees established it with the death of Henry Lee II on August 15, 1787. His wife Lucy Lee, the only other member of the Lee family buried there, died shortly after in 1792. The Virginia Journal and Alexandria Advertiser noted Lee’s passing in an obituary that said he died at the seat of Mr. Richard Bland Lee in Loudon County, Sully Plantation, and called him senator for the District of Fairfax and Prince William, in the fifty-eighth year of his age, after thirty years devoted to the service of his country. Captain Henry Fairfax, who purchased the plantation from the Lees in 1825, and his third wife Elizabeth were buried in the enclosed portion of the cemetery. Captain Fairfax died on October 6, 1847, and Elizabeth died a month later that same year. The Lee family stones later disappeared and were replaced with a bronze plaque donated by the Society of the Lees. The Fairfax headstones were relocated in 1969 to Union Cemetery in Leesburg beside the tomb of their son John Walter Fairfax, though their remains still rest within the enclosed cemetery.
