... In 1772 Philip Fox came to America from his birthplace, Baden, Germany, where he had married Catherine Lamer. 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. A number of neighbours then banded together to locate farther north, and in the company were John Wendel Wigle and Philip Fox, with their families... 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. 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.
