A history of a 4,000 acre tract at the foot of Cobbler Mountain in Fauquier County, Virginia, and the families that lived there. The emphasis is on Turner Dixon, the first member of the family to settle there, and on his widow and twelve children. Chronicles the eventual divisions of the land, and tells the fascinating tale of each of the children. Here too is the story of such landmarks as Glenara, White House, Silver Spring, Westwood, Piedmont Farm, Eastwood, and Vernon Mills. Allied families discussed are: Shumate, Rixey, Morehead, Scott, Brown, Lee, Jett and others.
