Fox Descendants
There were two separate Fox families in early Hunterdon, one of them from Germany (originally Fuchs), and the other from England. The English branch was directly related to the great Quaker leader, George Fox. The German branch settled south of Sand Brook village.
This is the third in a series of 5 or 6 articles on the Fox family of Rosemont and Kingwood.
1. The Quaker George Fox; and a postscript
2. George Fox of Hunterdon County
Continuing with George Fox (c.1700-1754) of Amwell and Kingwood.
In my last post, I discussed the founder of the Quaker religion, George Fox of England (1624-1691) and his nephew George Fox of New Jersey (1662-aft. 1721) and his wife Jane Palmer.
