Joseph Edward Willard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Edward_Willard
Joseph Edward Willard (May 1, 1865 – April 4, 1924) was a U.S. political figure from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Biography [edit]The son of Joseph Clapp Willard and Antonia Ford, he served for eight years in the Virginia House of Delegates, prior to his election as the 19th Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. He held that office from 1902 through 1906, leaving after an unsuccessful run for Governor. He then assumed the office of commissioner of the Virginia State Corporation Commission, serving for four years. In 1913, he was appointed by Woodrow Wilson as the United States Ambassador to Spain. Upon the outbreak of World War I Willard was vacationing in the United States and returned to Europe aboard the USS Tennessee. Willard left knowing that his daughter, Belle, who was married to Kermit Roosevelt, was sick with typhoid fever (she would recover).[1] Ambassador Willard held his position until shortly before his death in 1924.

The Wright Brothers' mother was from Loudoun County. She probably once at least set foot in Fairfax County, and each of her two sons got half of their DNA from her, and two halves make a whole, so I'm going to go ahead and declare the Wright Brothers were the first Fairfax County residents to fly.
