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 ThomasÕs birth in London in 1619 to the present. In addition to the well-documented Fox lineage, the book recounts all we know about the authorÕs maternal forbears of both Swiss (Weibel /Steinman) and Irish (Reardon/Higgins/Murphy) ancestry. The first 300 yearsÕ history of this Fox family in America is assimilated from various sources. Questions regarding Thomas FoxeÕs English roots, his first wife RebeccaÕs real surname (not ÒWheatÓ), his possible kinship to Thomas Foxe of Cambridge and Richard Foxe of Glastonbury, and our alleged descent from the martyrologist John Foxe, are discussed.
