Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 651:
Mrs. Margaret (Thomson) Bray, a highly respected resident of Amherstburg, is descended from one of the early pioneer families of County Essex.
     The Thomson family originated in Scotland, but at an early day they all emigrated to the North of Ireland, where Mrs. Bray's grandfather was born and where he spent his life. His family was as follows: Robert, the first of the family to come to Ontario, located in County Essex, where for many years he was a teacher; Charles L. was the father of Mrs. Bray; Thomas also came to County Essex, where he followed farming in the township of Maidstone, where he died.
     Charles Lennox Thomson was born in Ireland, Feb. 5, 1809, but came to Ontario with relatives when but a boy. On attaining his majority he taught school for many years, and also conducted a fine farm in Colchester South. He married Margaret Lockhart, a daughter of James Lockhart, who was of Scottish extraction, and their married life was spent in Colchester South, where he died Dec. 12, 1884; his widow passed away June 12, 1890. They were both consistent members of the Church of England in Colchester South, in which Mr. Thomson was lay reader and church warden for many years. He was a justice of the peace and commissioner in the H.C.J., and served as clerk and treasurer of his township for many years. In politics Mr. Thomson was a Conservative. To himself and wife were born the following children: Sarah Jane married George Fox, of Gosfield township; Amanda married Adam Fox; Margaret is Mrs. Bray; Lucinda Julia married Wheeler Mickle, of the North-West; Charles Lennox, of Colchester South, married Laura Bray; Louisa Sophia was married July 15, 1873, to James Brown, of Colchester South; Arthur Henry died at the age of two years; Eustace James is deceased; Alfred Ernest, of Colchester South, married Melinda Alga, daughter of Martin Alga.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 92-94:
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...
     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; Ellen, who is the wife of Charles T. 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.
