... In 1772 Philip Fox came to America from his birthplace, Baden, Germany, where he had married Catherine Lamer... in 1794 he was fortunate enough to draw Lot 10, on the lake shore in Gosfield, and removed thither... 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.

This house is still in use, and is the oldest in the county to be occupied. He continued to add to his land here until he had several hundred acres, and, for his day, was regarded as a man with large capital. He took part in the Rebellion, and was present at Amherstburg and Pelee Island. His death took pace at his home July 19, 1868, at the age of eighty years, five months, twenty-seven days.

Toward the latter period of the Civil war Mr. Ackles was engaged in Canada in buying horses for the United States government and while thus employed in County Essex, Ontario, met his future wife. On August 20, 1865, he married the lady-Miss Abigail Fox-born in the county named, September 7, 1845, the youngest of the three children born to Jacob and Elizabeth (McLean) Fox. Her brothers, George and Peter, are both farmers of County Essex. Her family is of Dutch and Irish extraction, and both parents were members of the Church of England.
