[Malott family history]...
The Fox family, to which Mrs. Malott belongs, had an important part in the early history of this part of Essex. The first of the line in America was Philip Fox, a native of Baden, Germany, who came to America with his wife, Catherine (Lamer), in the year of their marriage, 1772. They landed at Baltimore, Maryland, where they lived for several years, and then removed to Pennsylvania, where seven of there children were born. A number of neighbours banded together to settle farther north, and in the company were John Wendel Wigle and Philip Fox, which their families. Their first objective was Detroit, and they moved in a leisurely manner, carrying their belongings on pack horses and driving their cattle before them. At one time they all lived on Grosse Ile. In 1791 Philip Fox removed to a farm six mile below Windsor, new Petit Cote, but in 1794 he was fortunate enough to draw Lot No. 10, on the lake shore in Gosfield, and settled thereon, he and his wife passing the remainder of their lives on that place. Their remains rest on the Wesley Wigle farm, in a private burying ground. Their family consisted of eight sons and two daughters, namely: Jonas, settled on Lot 9; Philip settled on Lot 2, Concession 5, Mersea township, and married a Miss Snyder; Margaret; Judith; Michael settled on Lot 250, Talbot Road West; George settled on Lot 22, Concession 4; Henry settled on Lot 21, Concession 4; Adam settled on Lot 22, Concession 6; Jacob settled on Lot 22, Concession 6; and John settled on Lot 20, Concession 5.
