The stub says: "Future Chief Justice of the United States John Marshall successfully represented the successors of Fairfax to the title." This is misleading as Marshall's client in this case lost and was ordered to convey title to the plaintiff. But the court's recognition that title lay in Fairfax resulted in his heirs successfully litigating other cases involving the Proprietary.
