John Fawley was born about 31 December 1719 and died on 11 June 1803.  The inscription on his tombstone states he was “83 years, 5 months and 11 days” at the time of his passing.

He supported the American cause by paying the supply tax included in his 1782 and 1783 personal property tax in Loudoun County, Virginia.[1]

John Fawley was the son of Thomas Fawley (1681-1727) and Mary Fretwell (1689-1736).    His parents married in 1707 in Yorkshire, England.  John married in 1759 Anna Maria Ault (1737-1803), the daughter of Johann Valentin Ault (1709-1755) and Anna Catharina Schneider (1716-1742).   Her parents married in 1733 in Hessen, Germany.  John and Anna Maria Fawley had 11 children - John (1760-1850), Jacob (1761-1843), George (1764-1815), Margaret (1768-1807), Adam (1769-1788), Anthony (1770-1814), Anna Maria (1771-1841), Peter (1775-1815), Catherine (1777-1818), Elizabeth (1780-1845), and Henry (1784-1860). 

An inventory of John Fawley’s estate was recorded in the Loudoun County will books.[2]

John Fawley was buried in New Jerusalem Lutheran Cemetery, Lovettsville, Loudoun County Virginia.  His wife, Anna Maria was buried in the same cemetery.  She died on 2 October 1803 at the age of 66. Also buried in the same cemetery are sons Jacob, Adam and Henry; and daughters Anna Maria Stoneburner, Catherine Slater and Elizabeth Spring.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
