• (5b) 1757, 5 Oct: William FAUNTLEROY wrote his will. Names son William. (7) William FAUNTLEROY left the "Old Plantation" tract and "Naylor's Hole" to his eldest son William. The "Old Plantation" was 1000 acres lying on the north bank of the Rappahannock River and described in the will as "the lands I bought of Capt. John SPICER, Capt. Daniell McCARTY, Matthew DAVIS, and the Court house land which I bought of the county, which are contiguous and make the land I now live on." The "Naylor's Hole" tract was between Rappahannock Creek (now Cat Point) and Doctors Creek, which separated it from the "Old Plantation" tract. It was described in the will as "the land I bought of Emanuel CLEAVES, Matthew THORNTON, Hopkins THORNTON, & Colo. John TAYLOE, which are contigues Lieing Between Rappahannock Creek & the doctor's creek."
• (7) He built a square brick house in the Georgian style on the "Naylor's Hole" tract on the banks of the Rappahannock River. He was the first FAUNTLEROY to live at "Naylor's Hole." This is the best known of all the FAUNTLEROY places and has often been referred to as the place where Col. Moore FAUNTLEROY first settled, and as the original home of the family in VA. Patents, deeds and wills prove that Col. Moore FAUNTLEROY was the first white man to own it, as it was included in his patent of 450 acres on Swan Creek 22 May 1650, but it was relinquished by him in order that he could use the headrights to make good on another patent. This William's father purchased it from the heirs of Robert HOPKINS and John FORD, and this Col. William was the first FAUNTLEROY to make his home there. The house there is gone, but in 1927 descendant Col. Powell C. FAUNTLEROY erected a monument on the site of the house built of some of the bricks. In 1950 the place changed hands and the monumnet was torn down and the bronze plaque on the monument was sold for scrap. Photographs of the plaque may be seen in several historical publications.
