"In 1848, Benjamin Barton and wife, Elizabeth purchased a tract of land, 3 miles south of City of Alexandria and called it "City View" in the Groveton area. They had 10 known children. ...
One daughter, Lillie Constance married Franklin Pierce Reid (son of William Sims and Stacia V. (Smith) Reid from Franconia). In 1882, Franklin and Lillie C. (Barton) Reid lived at "Fairview" on what is now known as "Franklin Street."
(Originally, Fairview was several hundred acres and owned by Sampson Darrell, which was bequeathed to William Darrell, and upon Samuel Collard's marriage to Rachel (Brooke) Darrell, Samuel owned the property. Upon Samuel's death, his son, John Ricketts Collard owned the property and sold it to Samuel Gillingham, a Pennsylvanian Quaker).
Franklin and Lillie's son, William Franklin Pierce Reid, Sr. married Sallie Kerfoot Pickett (daughter of George K. and Mary Lewis (Smith) Pickett from Fauquier, Virginia and sister of Mattie who married Arthur Day Kerby) and lived at "City View".
It is the acreage north of the Collard/Kerby land and south of what is now known as Penn Daw that belonged to the Reid legacy and eventually known as Beacon Air Field. The Beacon Air Field website has more on the legacy of the Reid family and the air field."
