General Notes: Husband - Andrew G. Fox
He remained in Oxford County, Maine, until 1856, engaging in business in early manhood as a merchant and lumberman. He married and all but one of their seven children were born there. On leaving the old home he sold out all his interests and moved to Chest Springs, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, and one year later located at Tyrone, Blair County, and spent one year in mercantile business. He then went to Smith Mills, Clearfield County, and commenced the manufacture of staves and hoops, and purchasing forest land engaging in taking out square timber to raft down the river to the Eastern markets. He also logged extensively, losing and making money by turns, and carried on mercantile business also, continuing this after his retirement from lumbering. Later he sold part of his Clearfield County property and purchased a farm near Bellewood, in the Tuckahoe Valley, Blair County, but he only lived there one year, returning then to Clearfield County and settling upon a 634-acre tract of partly-improved land in Gulich township. After two years there, he decided to return to his native state, and purchasing a farm near Porter, Maine, he removed there with his wife and four children, only to be burned out two years later, everything being lost. He came back to Clearfield County, and after one year at McCauley's Mill, near Houtzdale, he retired to his farm in Gulich township, where he passed his remaining days. [CBRCP, 835]
