In 1653, Thomas Burbage obtained 3,000 acres between the Occoquan and Neabsco Creek.
Burbage's Neck later passed to Martin Scarlet (d. 1695), pioneer settler and sometime Burgess.
George Mason II gained 534 acres of Occoquan River frontage including a ferry landing and the
site of the first Prince William Court House. The plantation was named Woodbridge after a toll-
bridge built by Mason's great-grandson Thomas in place of the family-owned ferry.
