My research cards are all in the Library of Congress, so I have no way of knowing whether I was misled by some earlier writing or went wrong on my own, but the matter of accuracy can be settled by the law of probability. There is no chance whatever that two preachers named John and William Maffitt co-existed in the same little community, at precisely the same time, with abundant evidence of William's existence and none of John's, in the records you cite. [73] Old Dominion Road (Drive) did not exist until the old trolley tracks were removed in the 20th century. In a letter to Mrs. Elizabeth Payne, Chairman of the Committee for the Marie Butler Leven Preserve, Brant wrote on March 9, 1972: "I am not certain about the road from Falls Church to Salona, whether it branched off from Kirby Road at the site of the Nelson-Patterson Mill."

Trudie Sundberg and John Gott point out in the 1971 _Yearbook_ of the Historical Society of Fairfax County, Vol. 11, p. 5, that the church never received Miss Jones' four acres. Instead the property reverted to the estate of her mother, Lettice Turberville Jones, and was sold at auction with the rest of Lettice Jones' estate to pay off the creditors of Troilus Lewin Turberville, her brother. The present Lewinsville Presbyterian Church stands on acreage given by the heirs of Dr. Mottrom Ball, who had married Martha Turberville, sister of Troilus and Lettice. III SALONA FOR SALE
