A Fox Family History

A FOX FAMILY HISTORY: Family History and Genealogy for the Descendants of Archer and Mabel Fox of Wilton, New Hampshire Although the principal audience of the book will be the descendants of Archer and Mabel Fox, it should be of interest to all Foxes descended from Thomas Foxe of Concord and other early New England Foxe immigrants. The book provides an accurate history of the Fox family, from Thomas's birth in London in 1619 to the present. In addition to the well-documented Fox lineage, the book recounts all we know about the author's maternal forbears of both Swiss (Weibel /Steinman) and Irish (Reardon/Higgins/Murphy) ancestry. The first 300 years' history of this Fox family in America is assimilated from various sources. Questions regarding Thomas Foxe's English roots, his first wife Rebecca's real surname (not "Wheat"), his possible kinship to Thomas Foxe of Cambridge and Richard Foxe of Glastonbury, and our alleged descent from the martyrologist John Foxe, are discussed.
