" He also purchased the Naylor's Hole tract between Doctor's Creek and Rappahannock Creek, but he never live there. When he died he left both of these tracts to his eldest son, William. Besides these lands he owned 1000 acres near Farnham Church called "Quintenoak" which he inherited from his grandfather Col. Samuel Griffin.
William Fauntleroy appears frequently in the early records. He was a member of the House of Burgesses from Richmond County in 1736, 1740, 1742, 1744-1749."2Robert H. Fauntleroy, Fauntleroy Family, The, P 22.
" From the records of Richmond County we learn that on July 3, 1723 he was appointed to keep ferry.... "over the mouth of Rapphannock Creek to the land of Mrs. Katherine Gwyn". On October 7, 1724, James Scott came into court and "obliged himself to serve Mr. William Fauntleroy or his assigns for five years from the date hereof in consideration that the said William Fantleroy pay all his debts and give him at the expiration of his servitude one Kersey Coat, Vest, and Breches". William Fauntleroy seems to have been a strong believer in slavery, was very active in acquiring slaves and in catching runaways and in his will recorded in Richmond County in 1757 he left money to be "laid out in young Negro girls" for the benefit of his heirs.
From Richmond County records, Order Book 9, page 199, we learn that on Feb. 4, 1724 William Fauntleroy brought suit against Thomas Boyd, master of the ship "Prince Royal", for slander. Boyd had publically accused him of receiving and concealing some sails and other materials which had been stolen from his ship. William Fauntleroy was awarded £ 5 damages.
In the same records, Order Book 9, page 465, is recorded that on Apr. 2, 1729 William Fauntleroy brought suit against John Watkinson, master of the ship "Vine", for failure to carry out instructions in disposing of a shipment of tobacco at Liverpool, England. In this case he was awarded 11 shillings damages."

"we know that he was taken to London about 1674 by his stepfather, Col. William Lloyd, and that his mother went with them. There Col. Lloyd had him bound out as apprentice to James Lowry, a factor, and later to Charles Seddon, a pewterer. The reason for this move is obscure, however, after Col. Lloyd had returned to Virginia William Fauntleroy evidently quarreled with Seddon, as it is recorded that Seddon put him out of the house and refused to allow him, to return also refused to let William Fauntleroy have his books and other personal property. Shortly after this William Fauntleroy returned to Virginia, where he married Katherine Griffin in 1678.
In addition to the lands he inherited from his father, William Fauntleroy also received 4054 acres from Col. William Peirce, and 1155 acres which was given to Katherine Griffin by Ambrose Clare, perhaps her uncle or grandfather. Between 1678 and 1686 he sold 7000 acres of land, including a tract of 1200 acres to Col. William Lloyd. This tract was a part of the Mangorite grant patented by his father, and was in the possession of his mother when she married Col. Lloyd. It was on Bushwood Creek, and contained "the stone house field" before mentioned, and was probably the last home of Col. Moore Fauntleroy.
William Fauntleroy retained the part of the Mangorite Grant called Crondall and the Island, about 1200 acres, and probably lived there. When he died without a will, this passed to his eldest son Moore, who lived there for many years.
William Fauntleroy was a Justice in Old Rappahannock County from 1684 to 1686."

"Her portrait hangs at Mt. Airy, and photographs of it are in this book. The dates of birth of Katherine Griffin and her sons are given on an old record sheet now in the possession of the Misses Tayloe of Mt. Airy."
