Adam Fox is a retired farmer and wealthy land owner of the township of Colchester South, County of Essex, and is one of the few still surviving who were participants in the Rebellion of 1837-38.
     The Canadian ancestor of the Fox family was Philip, grandfather of Adam, who was an inhabitant of Pennsylvania, of German descent. With his wife he removed to Canada and settled near Ruthven, in the township of Gosfield South, on a grant of government land. He accumulated considerable property, at one time owning three farms, while he gave to each of his sons a farm as they started out in life. His children were ten in number and were named: Philip, Michael, George, Henry, Adam, Jacob, John, Jonas, Margaret (who married a Fulmer), and Judith (who married Henry Bruner). All were located in Gosfield except Adam, who lived in the township of Colchester.
     Henry Fox was born about the time the family came to Gosfield in 1794. He was married in that township to Miss Catherine Ulch, who was born in 1798, and who died Sept. 21, 1882, aged eighty-four years, six months and fourteen days. They lived there on Lot 21, Concession 4, until 1828, when Mr. Fox moved to Colchester township and located in Lot 36, trading his other farm for one of 250 acres owned by a brother. When he took the property only about fifteen acres were cleared, but with the help of his sons he cleared up the remainder of it, and entered upon a long course of farming, which has proved eminently successful. In his politics he was a Conservative. After a long and prosperous career he finally passed to his reward Jan. 16, 1861, at the age of seventy-four years, seven months and thirteen days. The children of Henry Fox were as follows: ... Adam...
     Adam Fox was born on the home place near Ruthven, township of Gosfield South, Dec. 17, 1821, and was seven years old when the family moved to Colchester township. In that early day on the frontier he had but few chances to gain an education and most of his time was spent working on the farm. He remained there until he was thirty-two years old, and then bought ninety-two acres of wild land on the section road. After a year and a half he traded this tract for 100 acres in the south half of Lot 43, where he lived until 1880. Meantime he had purchased 200 acres adjoining, and in that year he moved his residence to the new part, but continued to improve and farm the whole place until 1900, when he sold it. He still retains 147 acres of his father's original farm, but rents it, feeling that his many long years of toil have earned him a right to rest now. Though over eighty-three he is still hearty and equal to a good day's work.
     Mr. Fox's prosperity is not only due to his untiring efforts, but also to the never unfailing help and encouragement of his wife. She was Miss Amanda Deborah Thompson, who was born in Colchester South, daughter of Lenox Thompson, and her death in 1881, at the age of forty-five, was an irreparable loss to her husband. They were the parents of a large family of children, as follows: Lenox, who married Miss Wilhelmina Patton, has five children, Ellis, Fred, May, Norman and Florence, and lives at Oxley...

Arner, of Colchester South township, is the mother of two sons, Alfred and Herbert; Almira, now Mrs. W. H. DuBois, lives in Windsor, Ont., and had one son, Charles, born in Dakota, and died aged five years; Ernest W. and Alfred were twins, of whom Alfred died young, and Ernest W. married Miss Elizabeth Mallott, and has one child, Laura, and lives on the home place; Edith died young; Fanny, wife of Frank Rosebrook, is an undertaker of Harrow; Maggie is the wife of Frederick Moore, of Sandwich; Jessie, who married Joseph Adams, of Gosfield, has one child, Russell; and Charles, a physician in Clarks, Merrick County, Nebraska, married Anna Bedford, of Howard township, Cass County, Michigan, and has one daughter, Mary Amanda.
     Like his father, Adam Fox is a strong Conservative in his political views; he is quite influential in township affairs, and has served both as assessor and member of the council. In religious matters he holds the doctrines of the Baptists, and is a very strict observer of the Sabbath.
     Mr. Fox has many interesting reminiscences ...
