David Fox, Sr.

Parents unknown. His wife was Elizabeth.

David FOX - b. est. 1700. He may have been born in Prince Georges Co., MD, where the MOBERLY family resided from before the formation of the county from Charles County in 1695, until as late as 1741. It is not likely that he is connected to the Fox family residing in Lancaster Co., VA in the mid to late 1600s. The birth dates of his children, and their death dates except for Mary and Jonathan, appear in Bible Records of Fairfield County, South Carolina, by the Richard Winn Chapter NSDAR (Jenkinsville, SC: about 1954), pages 64 and 65. Lived in Fairfield Co., SC. Married est. 1719, VA.

Origins unknown

Update October 2019

DNA from supposed known descendants of this David Fox has disproved any relationship to Henry Fox, husband of Anne West.

From our paper in the Journal of Genetic Genealogy (page 17)

http://jogg.info/pages/vol8/fox2016/genetic-testing-of-a-paper-trai...

"More than a dozen other Fox Project members erroneously thought they might be descendants of Henry Fox and Anne West. This list includes a descendant of William Eires Fox (b. 1758 in Virginia), a descendant of Allen Fox (b. 1760 in North Carolina), a descendant of John Fox (b. ca. 1705– 15 in Essex County, Virginia), two descendants of John B. Fox (b. 1745 in Orange County, Virginia) and his wife Ann Barber, and two descendants of William Fox (b. 1836 in Warwick County, Virginia), whose parents were William Fox and Nancy Stacy."

Also disproven were 'tested' descendants of William Fox & Sarah Avent.

Have been searching for a proven male descendant of Henry's son, John, or brother, John,. Haven't found one yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated...but it is incorrect to label any DNA data to descendants of David Fox, as son of Henry Fox & Anne West, or Richard for that matter...
