description: "Bryan Fairfax, 8th Lord Fairfax of Cameron was an American planter, clergyman and peer. He was a lifelong friend of George Washington and became the first member of the British peerage to be born in North America, after travelling to England and reclaiming the peerage there. Fairfax was the first cousin once removed of Robert Fairfax, 7th Lord Fairfax of Cameron. He lived in Virginia for his entire life, and was the grandson of Henry Fairfax, a son of Henry Fairfax, 4th Lord Fairfax of Cameron. However, it was not until 1800 that he was confirmed in the title by the House of Lords."
