GW did not appear as a justice at this brief court meeting (Fairfax County Order Book for 1772–74, 262–63, Vi Microfilm). However, he did apparently meet with several people to receive and pay out money on behalf of the Colvill estate (General Ledger B description begins General Ledger B, 1772–1793.
