They settled in the same year at Baltimore, Maryland, remaining for several years, and then moved to Pennsylvania, during their residence in which State several children were born... in 1794 he was fortunate enough to draw Lot 10, on the lake shore in Gosfield, and removed thither. There both he and his wife passed the remainder of their lives, and their remains rest on the Wesley Wigle farm, in a private burying-ground. They had eight sons and two daughters born to them, as follows: ... Jacob, father of William C. Fox, and grandfather of our subject (he settled on Lot 22, Concession 6); ...
     Jacob Fox, the grandfather of Gordon P. Fox of Gosfield, was born Jan. 22, 1788, in Pennsylvania, and was but a lad when the family became permanently settled in Gosfield. He began farming for himself on Concession 6, where he did the first clearing, but later removed to Lot 24, on the lake, building about 1826 a log house near the shore. ...
