Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 528-529:
... 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... 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. ...
     Jacob Fox was twice married, first to Madeline Wigle, and they had children: ... William C. was born July 24, 1827...
     William C. Fox, father of Gordon P. Fox, was born on the lake front farm mentioned, and there grew up a strong and capable farmer, beginning for himself on Lot 21, a gift from his father. This property he began to clear and accomplished a great deal prior to turning it over to his son Prideaux. Some eleven years ago the property came to our subject, and the father now lives retired at Kingsville. On Oct. 17, 1853, he married Sarah Young, who was born in Malden township, and to this union were born: Prideaux, of Kingsville, married Isabella McCain, and had four children, Minnie, Fred, Maggie (deceased) and Morley; Wilhelmina married David Conklin, of Kingsville, and had one son, William T.; Gordon P. is mentioned below; Jennie married Eli Taylor, of Windsor, and has had three childre, Mina (deceased), Ella and Lucie.
     Gordon P. Fox was born April 28, 1863, in the house which is his home at present. He enjoyed the educational advantages afforded by the public schools, and in 1886 started out for himself. For some five years he resided on Lot 22, but later traded farms with his brother, coming to the homestead eleven years ago. He has given close attention to farming all his life, with the exception of a short time when he sailed on the lakes. Politically Mr. Fox is a Conservative. He has always shown a good citizen's interest in educational matters and served three years as school trustee.
     On Dec. 30, 1885, Mr. Fox was united in marriage with Nellie, daughter of Hiram E. and Persis (Abbott) Clifford, natives of the Province of Quebec, the former of whom died in 1900, the latter in 1903. To this union have been born six children: David Clifford, Oct. 30,1886; Flossie May, Sept. 24, 1888; Jennie Eliza, Aug. 20, 1890; Edna Bertha, Aug. 15, 1892; Mary Mina, Dec. 30, 1894; and Maggie, June 28, 1897.
     Mr. Fox and family belong to the Methodist Church. Fraternally he is an Odd Fellow. Like others of his family, he is held in high esteem in his locality, and is looked upon as one of the township's most thrifty young farmers.
