It is unclear who the creator of this scrapbook is. The book was given to William Page Johnson II, a cousin of Virginia Laughlin in 1994. Virginia (Whalen) Laughlin was the daughter of John McGill Whalen and Florence Sisson, granddaughter of John William Whalen. John McGill Whalen (1896-1945) was Clerk of the Fairfax County Circuit Court from 1936-1945. His father, John William Whalen (1862-1924), was the janitor for the Fairfax County Courthouse for many years.
The 1807 Fee Book Scrapbook is a reused fee book from 1807 that contains newspaper clippings from 1872-1882 pasted over the original account writings. The newspaper clippings included are mostly poems but also obituaries and marriage announcements from the Fairfax Herald and other Northern Virginia area newspapers.
