Fox. Jonas Fox, the eldest son of Philip Fox, the first settler of the name in this country, was born in Pennsylvania, and was a young man when the family came to Gosfield...
     Philip Fox, the oldest son of Jonas Fox, was born on Lot 9, in Gosfield, and first settled on his father's land in Romney township. Afterward he returned to Gosfield South, and located on the west quarter of Lot 8. His death was caused by drowning in 1842. Philip Fox married Ann Hairsine, a native of Yorkshire, England, and to them were born: Charles, born in Romney township, Aug. 17, 1829; Rebecca, who married John James Campbell, of Mersea township; Thomas, who died young; Mary, now deceased, who married Alexander Wilkinson; George, who married Julia Quick, and lived on the present Philip Fox place, and whose daughter, Georgianna, married William D. McDonald and lives on Lot 13, Concession 2; Melissa, who married Henry Wiper, of Leamington, Mersea township; Jane, who married Thomas Quick, of Mersea township; and Charlotte, deceased, who married Peter Hetherington, Jr. For her second husband Mrs. Fox married Peter Hetherington, Sr., of Romney township.
     Charles Fox, son of Philip, was born Aug. 17, 1829. Losing his father when thirteen years of age, he was early thrown on his own responsibility. In time he came into possession of fifty acres in Lot 8, upon which but little clearing had been done. Later he added considerable acreage to his holdings, and the house he built is still standing, although not used as a residence. In 1871 he purchased a farm in Mersea township, and located upon it. Later he still further added to his holdings, and he had 100 acres in Concession 9, fifty in Concession 10, in addition to Lots 8 and 9, in Gosfield township. He carried on general farming throughout his life, and was very successful. By careful business methods and right living he ever enjoyed universal esteem. His death occurred Nov. 12, 1885. His first marriage occurred Nov. 20, 1849, his bride being Caroline Wiper, who was born in Mersea May 29, 1828, and who died at the age of forty-six years. For his second wife Charles Fox married a widow, Sarah J. (Fair) Little. The children by his first wife were as follows: Solomon C., of Ruthven, born Sept. 12, 1850, mentioned more extensively later on. Philip C., born June 26, 1852, also mentioned later on; and Minnie, born Dec. 5, 1856, married to Homer Wigle, a farmer on Lot 6, Gosfield South.
     Solomon C. Fox was born on Lot 8, Gosfield South, Sept. 12, 1850, and first attended a school taught by Miss Elizabeth Coatsworth. At the age of twenty-one years he located on the western portion of Lots 9 and 10, on a farm of 113 acres, of which he cleared seventeen acres, a little later coming into possession of the east one-fourth of Lot 8 (immediately adjoining the other), where he moved with his family; this property lies in Gosfield South, in the first Concession. There he resided, carrying on general farming, until Sept. 17, 1891, when, owing to ill health, caused by a stroke of paralysis, he discontinued, and his son Clifford is now farming the home place. Four years ago Mr. Fox built himself a handsome brick house in Ruthven, and now lives retired. In politics he is a Conservative. He and his family are members of the Ruthven Methodist Church. Fraternally he is a member of the Odd Fellows' Lodge at Ruthven.
     On July 10, 1872, in Gosfield township, Mr. Fox married Emma Haley, who was born in Port Burwell, May 17, 1856, a daughter of John Haley, a native of England, who came to Canada at the age of eight years, and who now lives in Ohio. John Haley married Catherine Scholan, a native of Ireland, who died in Windsor when Mrs. Fox, her only child, was three years old. After her mother's death Mrs. Fox was taken by her grandfather, John Haley, a hotel man at Sandwich, and later she lived in the family of Peter Malott until her marriage. To Mr. and Mrs. Fox have come the following children: Caroline, born June 9, 1873, married Thorbourn H. Wigle, and they have one daughter, Greata May, born Aug. 22, 1895; Clifford, born Jan. 7, 1876, married Blanche Orton, and he carries on the home farm; and Daisy, born June 11, 1879, married Gernsey Bruner.
     Philip C. Fox was born on the lot where he now resides, June 26, 1852. He received his education in school section No. 3, Gosfield South, and at the age of twenty years began farming for himself, in time becoming the owner of 100 acres in Lot 8. Later he purchased fify acres more, which is part of Lots 7 and 8, in the Gore, and this he gave to his son, Milburn, who resides there. Mr. Fox did some of the clearing of his place, and the greater portion of the building, and the farm is now in fine condition. It has been christened "Silver Brook Farm," gaining its name from a stream that flows almost by the door of the house. Mr. Fox carries on general farming, and is an extensive stock buyer, also during the winter season buying and selling a large quantity of grain, and being counted among the enterprising farmers and business men of his township.
     In his political opinions Mr. Fox is a Conservative, and he has always taken a lively interest in township affairs, serving as deputy reeve for two years, after which, in 1900, he was elected reeve, a office he still capably fills. For the past twenty-three years he has been trustee of school section No. 3. Both Mr. Fox and his wife are consistent members of the Ruthven Methodist Church, of which he is now steward and trustee. Fraternally he is connected with the Odd Fellows and the Masons.
     Mr. Fox married Blanche Malott, who died soon afterward. For his second wife he married Christina Malott, a sister of his first wife, daughter of William J. Malott. The children born of this happy union are: Milburn, born Feb. 20, 1874, married Minnie, daughter of Charles Wigle, and they have one daughter, Josie Margrette, born April 5, 1900. Norah, born April 9, 1878, married C. Cascadden, of Ruthven, and they have a daughter, Doris Madeline, born Nov. 15, 1897. Addie, born May 9, 1880, married Maurice Stevens, a saddler of Leamington. Albert Godwin, born April 23, 1883, is at home.
