General Notes: Husband - George Fox


He was brought up in Lawrence County, PA, where he attended school, and at the age of twenty-three, having moved to Venango county, he was employed at President by Robert Elliott. Several years later he bought a hundred acres of land, all uncleared, paying two dollars per acre. He first built a log house (still standing in 1890), and gradually reduced the farm to cultivation.
