Landmarks of Old Prince William, Volume 1, Fairfax Harrison, Gateway Press, 1987, page 237, in a footnote to a discussion of the Prince William Insurrection of 1732 in which Thomas Furr was one of the ringleaders, he is identified as "one of the original Scotch-Irish settlers below Brent Town in 1823."

"The first traceable Furr was Thomas, whom we believe to have been William's son. He was born about 1679 and lived in what became Stafford County, VA in 1722. In 1722 he received a grant of 1072 acres from Thomas Lord Fairfax for land at the head of Elk Run. This land has been locate d and has been in the Peters family since the early 1850's. As late as 1936 a home known as Cherry Run, believed to date back to Thomas had stood on the land, but finally deteriorated due to neglect." See sources
