the legality of virginia's confiscation of the northern neck proprietary lands continued to be contested in state and federal courts long after denny fairfax's death in 1800. the virginia supreme court upheld the state's confiscation and conveyance of the proprietary's lands, arguing that the terms of the jay treaty with the kingdom of great britain did not address the disputed proprietary. in 1813, the united states supreme court reviewed the virginia supreme court's decision in "fairfax's devisee v. hunter's lessee", 11 u.s. 603, and ruled that the treaty did in fact cover the dispute, and remanded the case back to the state supreme court. the virginia supreme court ruled that the u.s. supreme court did not have authority over cases originating in state courts. the state supreme court's refusal to accept the u.s. supreme court's mandate was appealed in 1816 in "martin v. hunter's lessee", 14 u.s. 304. the u.s. supreme court reversed the state court's decision on appeal and ruled that article three of the united states constitution granted the u.s. supreme court jurisdiction and authority over state courts on matters involving federal law. chief justice john marshall was forced to recuse himself from ruling in "martin v. hunter's lessee" as he and his brother james had previously contracted with denny fairfax to purchase the disputed proprietary lands.
