Richmond-Times Dispatch (Va.)
17 December 1911
George C. Round, of Prince William county, has in his possession two interesting relics of the early days of that county. One is the keystone of the first financial institution founded in Prince William county, the Bank of Dumfries, located at old Dumfries, near Quantico. The slab bears the inscription, "William Waite Fecit. 1775." The other relic is a slab from the first courthouse in Prince William county, which was built in 1731 at Dumfries, which was then the county seat.
