General Notes: Husband - Samuel Mickle [3] Fox
With a belief in the future value of lands in the interior of Pennsylvania, he sold properties in Philadelphia, and bought back lands, including the land in Clarion County on which his descendants later lived. At his death one hundred and eighteen thousand acres, not including his land in then Venango, later Clarion County, were divided. He had thirteen children, of whom the oldest was Joseph Mickle.
He was so impressed with a belief in the ultimate value of the land in the northwestern part of Pennsylvania, which came into the market after the Indian treaties of 1784 and 1785, that he sold Philadelphia real estate and purchased largely of what were then known as back-hands. At his death, one hundred and eighteen thousand acres, not including his land in Venango, later Clarion, county, were divided. In what is now Clarion county there were a number of warrants granted to George and Samuel M. Fox between 1785 and 1789. About 1795 they took out eight one-thousand-acre warrants, seven of which lay along the Allegheny, north of the Clarion River. These were patented in 1796 and became the sole property of Samuel M. Fox. Much of the land was afterwards disposed of, but a considerable portion of the original purchase at the confluence of the Allegheny and Clarion rivers remained a family possession into the 20th century.
Samuel M. Fox was an incorporator of bank of Pennsylvania in 1793, and in 1796 became its president, which position he held until his death. In 1796 he was a member of Select Council of Philadelphia, and a member of a committee to take into consideration the finances of the city, etc. He also served on one or more of the "watering" committees of Philadelphia, and was at one time one of the trustees of University of Pennsylvania.
